The Metabolism Diet

According to the Metabolism Diet, if you eat a certain combination of food, you initiate a chemical reaction where (gasp!) your metabolism works faster and burns more calories. This diet plan is the opposite of many soup diets as they usually promote just eating one type of food over a longer period of time.

It’s relatively easy to follow:

For a week, you drink a minimum of four glasses of water or diet soda a day, and use only the following sauces and spices to season your food:

  • herbs, salt, pepper, lemon, vinegar, Worcestershire, soy sauce, mustard and ketchup.
  • It’s a little strange why ketchup is supposed to jumpstart metabolism, but it does make the food a little easier to swallow.

You then strictly follow this menu:

  • Day 1
  • Breakfast: black coffee or tea with one to two packets of Sweet & Low or Equal
    Lunch: two hard-boiled eggs and a cup of cooked spinach
    Dinner: lettuce and celery salad, and a 6 oz. steak (fried in PAM)

  • Day 2
  • Breakfast: black coffee or tea with one to two packets of Sweet & Low or Equal and one cracker
    Lunch: lettuce and celery salad, and a 6 oz. steak broiled or grilled
    Dinner: an 8-10 oz. slice of ham

  • Day 3
  • Breakfast: black coffee or tea with one to two packets of Sweet & Low or Equal and one cracker
    Lunch: two hard-boiled eggs, 1 cup green beans, 1 cup tomatoes
    Dinner: an 8-10 slice oz. of Ham, 2 cups green bean/tomato salad

  • Day 4
  • Breakfast: black coffee or tea with one to two packets of Sweet & Low or Equal and one cracker
    Lunch: one hard boiled egg, 1 cup raw carrots
    Dinner: one cup regular yoghurt, 1 oz. mozzarella cheese, 1 cup fruit salad

  • Day 5
  • Breakfast: black coffee or tea with one to two packets of Sweet & Low or Equal and 1 water cracker, 1 raw carrot, Juice of 1 lemon
    Lunch: one fried fish fillet, 4-6 oz. and tomato salad
    Dinner: one 4-6 oz. steak and green salad

  • Day 6
  • Breakfast: black coffee or tea with one to two packets of Sweet & Low or Equal and 1 cracker
    Lunch: one 4-8oz. broiled chicken, skin removed
    Dinner: two hardboiled eggs, 1 raw carrot

  • Day 7
  • Breakfast: tea with lemon
    Lunch: one 4-8oz. steak broiled or grilled, 1 and 1/2 cup of fruit
    Dinner: a sensible dinner

The Verdict. Despite the supposed scientific claims of metabolic processes and the chemical reactions of foods, this diet works for one reason and one reason alone—you’re taking so little calories you’ll shed the pounds. That sounds good, but actually, it’s also got so little vitamins and nutrients you’ll most likely feel faint and tired. Not something you want to do for more than 7 days, even if you do love ketchup. .

    This diet was terrible! Your suppose to take in the amount of calories you want to burn to loose weight. This diet dosnt have the right amount to nutrients of carbs to take in let alone fat. You need fat to lose weight and if your not taking in the right amount of fat then you wont be get the weight lose you truley desire.

    I’m on my 4th day of this diet, when I started I weighd 86kg and today I weigh 84kg. It’s a healthy diet I’ve ever followed in history and it works like a charm. I’m so impressed and surprused at the same time that one has been overlooking this healthy diet plan. I don’t even exercise at the moment, so there’s no hussle at all to follow it. That’s the diet I’ll recommend to everyone including obese teenagers/elder people etc.

  3. by TaniaNo Gravatar November 30th, 2010 10:24 am

    I must say, this diet works! It has been 6 months and I haven’t gained one pound gain. So that tells me this diet is probable the only REAL diet that works in the long term. After the two week diet, I started eating my normal foods: pasta, bread, pork, saucy dishes, wine, chocolate every day, many fruits full of sugar etc and I still weigh the same as just after the diet.

    You can try it. Believe me, should I ever gain weight again, this is the dliet that will give my body back in two weeks.

    Well done, Tania, that’s great to hear it’s been successful for you!

  5. by NosiNo Gravatar January 10th, 2011 11:13 am

    I noticed it only goes as far as day 7? does that mean u go back to day one for the other 6 days since its a 13 day diet?

  6. by DelilahNo Gravatar January 12th, 2011 8:20 am

    Dear Nosi!

    If you want to do this Diet for longer than 7 days then ofcourse you can go back to day 1 and start over. But I wouldn’t recommend to do it for longer than 2 weeks max as it then begins to be unhealthy. 1 week should do the trick, then pause and maybe start over a while later again.

  7. by NosiNo Gravatar January 13th, 2011 8:59 am

    Thanks Delilah, i just realised that i was confusing two diets :) . was googling 13 day diet when i found this site. I have to tell you that i am on day two of this diet and so far so good. I am hoping to see the difference soon and i’m glad its 7days and not more :) .
    Chat in 7 days. I am diarising every detail.

    P.s i have not seen water crackers in store but have salticrax, hope they will do the trick still.

    Hi. im on day 3 of this diet and i feel miserable – i have headaches, nausea, dizziness – i just feel like i was hit by a train – is it fine if i just do it for 7 days instead of 13?

  9. by DelilahNo Gravatar January 27th, 2011 9:24 pm

    Mbrizza, I’m sure 7 days is better than nothing at all. If you feel that unwell, maybe it’s not the right diet for you.

    I’ve been exploring and searching for a bit for any high-quality articles or blog posts on this kind of area . Exploring in Google I at last stumbled upon this web site. Wow, great, finally. Upon Reading this info So i’m happy to convey and realize that I’ve a very good uncanny feeling I discovered exactly what I needed a lot. Thanks a lot. I most certainly will make certain to of course do not forget this web site and give it a glance regularly to compare it with my industrial uninterruptible power supply websiteUnquestionably believe that which you said. Your favorite justification appeared to be on the internet the easiest thing to be very well aware of. I say to you honestly, I certainly get irked while people think about worries that they just do not know about. Well,You managed to hit the nail upon the top of the hill and also defined out the whole thing without having side-effects , people can take a signal. Once again I say directly to you I Will probably be back to get more. Good Day

    I started a similar version of this diet on 21st Feb. Today was my last day and I have lost 4 kilos which i have been battling to lose for a whole year. This diet works , im even thinking of creating an eating plan based on some of the meals on this diet. Hopefully ill lose more!!! its really not that bad , one saturday morning i even went for a 10 km road race.

  15. by DelilahNo Gravatar March 17th, 2011 9:57 am

    Hi Nic,

    you can drink as many cups as you like but just be sure to drink it black. By adding sugar, cream or flavored syrups, you will take in far more calories than you burn.

    Best wishes,

    Delilah

    Hi there.

    Hope all is well.

    What the diffrence between the metabolism diet and the Russian Air Force diet.. They seem to have the same ingredients but differ with one or two days? Do they have the same effect?

    Thanks
    Kay.

  17. by KayNo Gravatar April 2nd, 2011 6:17 pm

    I love love this diet! Not boring at all.. It has all my fav foods and I always look forward to the next days meals! I’m on day 5 and have lost 4kg,without any exercise.. My jeans fit me just right now! Yaay! Decided to do the full two weeks.
    Will keep you updated!

    All thanks!

  19. by FerneNo Gravatar April 12th, 2011 12:17 am

    hi guys… I looked up this web site cos yesterday was my first day and I struggled. it wasn’t the food or the denial of “goodies”…. it was the one coffee at the beginning of the day.
    I am okay that it is a severe diet, but… coffee??? whaaaa……!!!!! so glad to see that an extra couple can be added….. good luck every one.
    I must admit… the fatigue yesterday was crushing, and I even had a nana nap after work… while my parents were visiting!!!! woke up dazzling this morning though and feel I can continue.
    Cheers again…

  20. by DelilahNo Gravatar April 13th, 2011 2:44 pm

    Dear Ferne!
    Keep up the good work – you will see it will end up being worth it. If you feel tired during the day than taking a nap is a good solution. Feeling tired is one side effect of the metabolism diet as it only has a limited amount of nutrients. This is also one of the reasons why it is not advisable to be on the metabolism diet for more than 7 days. If you feel too sleepy or even sick then quit straight away – the metabolism diet doesn’t suit everyone.

    Hey guys.

    I promised to let you know about my full two week progress!

    Well, after 14 days I lost a total of 11kg! I look and feel fantastic! It’s been two weeks since off the diet and it has motivated me to stick to healthy eating and haven’t gained a single pound!

    I would encourage everyone to try this diet, it works and it is wonderful!

    Good luck to all!

    I have been on the diet for the past 12 days and the results are amazing. My clothes are fitting better with most loose. I have not weighed myself yet but i did before i started the diet. I am doing the 13 day metabolism diet though which has been tough but i pulled through it. I can’t wait for tomorrow when i get to finish.

    I would encourage anyone to try the 13 day metabolism diet, it’s a moracle how i look and feel. Good luck everyone

    I started this 13 Day Metabolism Diet on Saturday, the 2nd of June 2011. I’m now on Day 3 & I lost 2kg’s already. Feeling great as i have done it before & lost 9kg’s – never gained the weight since the. I think doing it ever 6 months will do me good0- I should eventually reach my Goal Weight.

    Hi

    I started this diet yesterday, and the temptations argg, but i was strong and i made it through day1.

    so today Day 2 i feel i can do this. My staring weight was 72kg, so decided to hit scale on Day 4 morning! i believe if has work for you gals, it may as well work for me and it helps to know that i’m not alone.

  63. by cindyNo Gravatar July 8th, 2011 11:53 am

    Hi Guys, me again. I’m on Day 7 and I’ve never felt better. 4 Kg’s lost & hoping never to find it again. My mum does this diet every 3 months & it’s working wonders for her as well. If you are considering this, please just go ahead and do it cos you’ll only regret not doing it sooner.

    PS. Asnath, do the diet after 2 months as there is a reason there should be that gap. My friend did it properly after a week of failing & landed herself in hospital. It imbalances your system & we think it’s only food so what’s the worst that could happen, right!!! Wrong, totally wrong on so many levels.

    Gee, I am so glad I came across your experiences with this diet. I am on day 2, so far so good apart form low energy levels….It really motivates me to keep going, reading how nuch weight you lost. I need to shed about 15 – 20 kgs (5 kgs of pregancy fat still there after one year)…..Just want to kick start the whole thing to get motivated to start a healthy diet again.
    I did weigh myself this morning and was surprised to see a 1.0 kg weightloss, weird as that may sound…..
    Am very curious to see who’s also on this diet, lets keep each other focussed!!

    Looking forward to the t
    For me day 5 was the worst.
    I have lost 3.9 kg since I started.
    What Ive noticed is that weight loss has decreased a bit; I only lost 0.3 kg for the last two days. Anyone who has had similiar experience?
    I kinda hoped it would go faster as I am very overweight.

    DAY 9 – unfortunately I am sick..throat infection but perservering nonetheless. This diet is working. I had 9 kgs to lose and I am halfway there which is more than I have been able to do in a year of hard excercise and diet control. Very happy. Recommend this challenge to anyone wanting to drop a few unwanted kgs. Will let you know the end result. And what happens when I resume my normal lifestyle.

    Day 8 – Well i have now gotten used to the diet and it’s so much as a struggle, but as you say it Veronica, if u have to cook for the family, you get soo tempted to stick your finger in there and taste, lol. But I must say the results are certainly visible… I only weighed myself before i started, and will only weigh myself again after day 13.

    Will let u know how much i lost in total… Must say i totally love the flat tummy i have now :-)

  83. by TeeNo Gravatar August 21st, 2011 7:18 pm

    I am allergic to eggs. With what can I substitute them? can I take a multivitamin during the 13 days? what about pills for pain/fever?

  84. by VicklesNo Gravatar August 26th, 2011 11:01 am

    Hey all…. @ Veronica, i lost 6kgs, and quite a bit of centimetres, my work pants now fit and my tummy flat, so i got to say i have reached my target… so now am all for healthy eating and maintaining:-)

    Quick question,

    Is the diet plan for 7 or 13 days?

  88. by LiyemaNo Gravatar August 31st, 2011 2:03 pm

    I’m on day 2 of this diet, i currently weight 80kg. I want to lose and believe that this diet truly works. Hold thumbs for me.

  89. by PhaksieNo Gravatar August 31st, 2011 3:06 pm

    day3, its hard bt still going strong

  90. by PhaksieNo Gravatar September 1st, 2011 1:35 pm

    Day4–much better that day3, less cravings

  91. by SarahNo Gravatar September 6th, 2011 10:16 am

    I have just started the diet and find it VERY difficult. Any people who have completed the diet and not regained the weight? I would love to hear that its worth it in the end. The last diet I did I lost weight but as soon as I returned to normal eating the weight came straight back on.

  92. by leratoNo Gravatar September 6th, 2011 1:16 pm

    hi guys started on sunday and havn’t weighed myself but i hope to lose a maximum of 10 kg’s so what would happen if you carried on this diet to week 3

  93. by LeboNo Gravatar September 7th, 2011 11:55 am

    @ day 3, feel light already but i must say it is not an easy one. Temptations,temptations! all i have to do is a self discipline and i am looking foward to day 13. I will let you know guys, my starting weight was 80.6Kg

  94. by LeboNo Gravatar September 8th, 2011 8:53 am

    Day 4, headaches!

  97. by HendrikaNo Gravatar September 8th, 2011 12:11 pm

    Hi Guys,
    I have just been reading through all the post and I am very exited to have some people that are on the same diet as I am, at least it helps with all the questions i have. The 13 day diet i am following looks a little different and was just wondering if it will still work. I dont want to suffer for 13 days and then find that is was worth nothing. I am on day 5 at the moment. Please can you have a look and let me know if i should continue or not.
    Thanks

  100. by janeneNo Gravatar September 9th, 2011 12:27 pm

    Hi, Lerato and Hendrica, I am also taking that diet. My weightloss is a little slower as I discovered that its that time of the month when I am all puffy and weigh more yet even with that I have lost 3 kg and am on day 6 and have just thoroughly enjoyed my chicken, feel so stuffed.
    Good luck to all of you!!! I am hoping to see an increase in my weightloss next week, in my last week.

  101. by UnathiNo Gravatar September 12th, 2011 8:19 am

    Hey Lovely People: I am on day 8 meaning i`m starting all over again. Yesterday for dinner, as it was my break-away meal…!!! I binged, i shouldn`t feel bad right? I followed everything to the last “T” except last night i was given free rain… hehehehehe
    And so, i eat Oven Butter Pop Corns, A can of Light Coke, My favourite Bokomo oats + a piece of chicken… Is`t that bad???? HELP!!!

  102. by KagisoNo Gravatar September 12th, 2011 12:59 pm

    Hey gals, A friend of mine gave me this diet today, was already on a different diet. So im used to smaller portions. tomorrow im starting and will write an update everyday. Will try to stick to it, it looks simple.

  103. by LeboNo Gravatar September 13th, 2011 7:04 am

    Hi, today im on day 9 and still going strong.my diet is not exactly this one,they are slightly different(it is the same as Hendrika’s). i am so exited to finish because my clothes are starting to fit again.

  104. by KagisoNo Gravatar September 13th, 2011 7:49 am

    The day started well I did Taebo for 30 minutes inthe morning, then i prepared my lunch, and imhaving a cup of coffee as we speak. its that time of the month i hope it doesnt affect my weightloss.

    12 days to go

  105. by KatlegoNo Gravatar September 13th, 2011 8:42 am

    Hi guys, Im on day two and I have to say, day 1 was very difficult, had a lot of headache but managed to pull through without taking an aspiring. I weigh 64kg, hoping to loss 10kg, and another 10 kg after two months when i will be repeating the diet. my weight goal is 50kg. Please cross fingers for me.

  106. by KagisoNo Gravatar September 13th, 2011 10:05 am

    Hi Katlego
    Im on Day 1, we can keep on encouraging each other so we make it to the last day.
    I currently weigh 90. I was 95 when i started dieting, i lost 5kg in the past 2 weeks on a vegetarian diet, Im hoping to also lose 10 or more kilos because im obese it might be easier to lose 10. i wont weigh myself till my size 38 none stretch jean fits.

    I know dinner is always harder because sometimes we have to cook for the family. What i do is wear a clothes that are tight while preparing dinner, it encourages me not to eat what every1 is eating because id like to fit perfectly into those clothes

  107. by KatlegoNo Gravatar September 13th, 2011 1:27 pm

    Kagiso

    Thank you so much for your respose. I bought a weight scale during lunch, so i will weigh myself when i get home tonight and will let you know tomorrow my exact weight-I hope is not as bad, im crossing my fingers.

    I’ve not being to the gym for the past week now, so im goign to resume with it tomorrow, just to speed the weight loss process.

    Wow, you go girl, 5 kg in two weeks, I applaud you, you have done very well for yourself. let’s keep at it and shed the weight off.

  108. by KagisoNo Gravatar September 14th, 2011 7:53 am

    Morning ladies

    Hi Katlego

    Yesterday i got so proud of myself, i did all the things i wanted to do, Worked out for an hour, 30 min of taebo in the morning, going up and down the stairs at work during lunch for 10 minutes, walked for 15 minutes after work and used a body twister for 5 min.

    I ate as i was suppose to. I dont get hungry during the day, my problem is at 3 in the morning. i always wake up because of hunger pangs.

    Didnt weigh myself which is great

    11 more days to go

  109. by KagisoNo Gravatar September 14th, 2011 9:56 am

    8 flight of stairs done after breakfast in 6 min. im so raved up, i really hope ill be able to do this till the last day, and continue with the excersice afterwards. im drinking a lot of water is that dangerous?

  110. by KatlegoNo Gravatar September 15th, 2011 6:42 am

    Hi Ladies
    and Kagiso

    I still don’t believe my bathroom scale. yesterday I weighted myself at around 13:30, my weight read 65.3kg. after work i went to gym and when i got home at around 18:45 i weighted myself again I weighted 64.8 kg. I then ate my day 3 dinner (fruit salad and yoghurt) and did some reading and browsing. Then i decided to weight myself before I went to bed and my scale was reading 64.5 kg. amaizingly when I woke up this morning i weighted myself again (more than 6 times because i couldnt believe my eyes) and I was weighing 64 kg. It unbelievable!! realy this diet works.

    I feel so light and energetic. And the headache, only had it on day 1 and it is gone. never seen this, i have tried and tried many diets and diet pills and they never worked for me.

  111. by KagisoNo Gravatar September 15th, 2011 7:31 am

    Katlego i, so happy for you.

    Wish everything was going well for me, im on my period and you know one gains weight due to water retention during ones period. yesterday i went to my local pharmacy and dicided to weigh myself, the niddleprincess went to 91, i have gained a kilo. i decided the bog expensive scale is broken, so i got home and went on to mine for second opinion it was 91 still. i had such a sad night, woke up this morning and weighed myself, im back to 90. id really like to go down, i always manage to lose to 89 but never further than that.

    i feel so bloated today, i decided to drink slim tea because it cleans ones tummy. hopefully after i finish my period i will start to loose as rapid as everyone else. Still sticking to this full time

  112. by TINA DE KOCKNo Gravatar September 15th, 2011 9:44 am

    Good day,

    Have tried numerous diets after forty and nothing helps. I am on an anti-depressant and high estrogen pill. WILL THIS DIET WORK FOR ME

    Thank you
    TINA

  113. by KatlegoNo Gravatar September 15th, 2011 9:46 am

    Hi Kagiso

    Sorry to hear that, but don’t loss heart, like you said the idea is to keep at it even if there are some set back in weight loss. We are winning this- no matter what.

    My body is used to this diet now, don’t even crave the things i used to eat. Im sticking to healthy eating after 13 days. I don’t want to go back. My husband gave me a good incentive yesterday- he said if i achieve my weight goal of 50 kg he will buy me a pair of jeans, so I’m motivated- there is a price to win.

    I have to say, seeing all the weight shedding away really motivated me to be consistent with gym, before i was demotivated because I was sweating everyday with so little results.

  114. by leratoNo Gravatar September 15th, 2011 12:32 pm

    eish yah neh i was so close but temptation got the better of me, i’ll try again in a few months. but in the seven days that i was on this diet, i lost 5kg.
    ok ladies this diet will not change your metabolism, the reason you lose weight is because you are taking in so little calories that therse a huge difference between what you are supposed to be taking in daily and what you are taking in when on this diet. my metabolism didnt change one bit infact i was going to the toilet less than what i was before to do the number 2!
    anyways good luck comrades, the weight loss struggle continues

  115. by tlameloNo Gravatar September 15th, 2011 12:34 pm

    you guys have motivated me so much……im starting tommorow and hoping to be in shape for the spring break end of september…i will update everyone how it all went….im exited

  116. by CharmaineNo Gravatar September 15th, 2011 3:32 pm

    I’m on day 4 and haven’t weighed myself, but have had others notice the weight loss on me which says something (we are always the first to notice change in ourselves – the flatter stomach is motivation enough to continue!)

    The worst is over for me, I no longer have cravings (or dreams of cup cakes!) and after day 2 I didn’t have any headaches (this is normal for any detoxing you do). I can even walk past our canteen without feeling an urge to buy any of the fast food junk that I usually do.

    If nothing else, after this I hope to be programmed to eat more sensibly, and everything in moderation.

    Good luck gals (and guys!)

  117. by KagisoNo Gravatar September 16th, 2011 8:43 am

    Charmaine, We are in the same day, I weighed myself though. I had a bad day yesterday bcos i had gained a kilo, i got back to my 90kg this morning i did it again and im now 89. By day 4 people have lost a lot and i havent, so i am a little worried because im desperate to lose this weight. ive stuck with this diet from day 1 and im sticking to it till day 13.

    To Katlego
    How are yo buddy, how much do you weigh today cos i know you jumped on to that scale. lol. As you can read above my day started well. and im glad, im so glad that the steak and chicken fall over the weekend for me

  118. by KatlegoNo Gravatar September 16th, 2011 11:08 am

    Hi Kagiso
    Yes, you guessed right, my bathroom scale has become my new best friend. I’m happy to say I lost another kilo. I hopped on this morning and I was at 63Kg.
    I’m happy that you also lost that kilo. bravo to us

    And Charmaine I’m with you there, I don’t crave anymore-in fact i have developed a conscience for food and how it affects me. I’m reading a lot of articles and materials on this subject and learning new things.

    Tlamelo you won’t regret starting on the diet. Please keep us updated.

    a luta continua

  119. by KatlegoNo Gravatar September 16th, 2011 11:32 am

    Tlamelo

    I need to mention that I was so reluctant on staring the diet, because I couldn’t understand how food can actually results in weight loss. I felt stupid eating that steak on Monday and when I was done- my jaws were so painful from chewing that whole chunk of meat. I really laughed at myself and felt sick after wards. Nonetheless, it was all worth it.

  120. by TianaNo Gravatar September 16th, 2011 11:44 am

    day 5, following 100%, but only lost 1 kg? How on earth is that possible!

  121. by KeneilweNo Gravatar September 19th, 2011 7:16 am

    hey guys

    looking at ur comments with this diet, i am convinced it works. I have decided to follow it, as from today. i weigh 67kg hoping to lose as much as possible for my wedding in November… such pressure:-( but ur comments show that the diet is effective:-) looking forward to the 13 days.

  122. by SharonNo Gravatar September 19th, 2011 7:23 am

    Hi,
    I’m on day 5 of the 13 day diet. The first two days i lost 2kg but the next 2 days i only lost 800g. Has anyone else also slowed down? Its a bit dissapointing. I’m still commited to keep going tho coz i have allot to loose.

  123. by KagisoNo Gravatar September 19th, 2011 8:39 am

    Hi Katlego

    IM So sorry to dissapoint you but i had to quit the diet on friday, I got so sick from eating so little. i thought i was dying. Ive been sick with stomach cramps burning and all, since friday till today. So i pulled out. Funny thing is I still havent lost even a kilo, the kilo i lost i gained it back. even though now i have a terrible runny tummy I cant keep anything in my weight still remains on 90. Oh well< thats it for me and crash diets, no more, some one mentioned that this diet is not for every1, it was most def not for me. but good luck i hope you see the results. will keep checking up on you n the girls

  124. by LeboNo Gravatar September 19th, 2011 8:43 am

    hi guys,im done with the diet and i lost 5 kg in total. now i can encourage others to follow the diet,it is realy working when you follow it properly.from now on im gona make sure that i choose what i eat and i am not going to cheat the gym.
    So good luck to you all and stay strong,if you wana see good results dont cheat!

  125. by KatlegoNo Gravatar September 19th, 2011 12:50 pm

    Hi Kagiso, sorry to hear that, hope you recover from the side effects. You need to do what works for you, and if this diet does not work for you, then you need to throw it out. you cant afford to risk it.

    It has not being easy but im hanging in there, today is day 8. I have’nt lost that much weight since the last time, I’m at 61 kg. My weight loss like Sharon has gone on a slow mode but Im happy with what i have achieved thus far. Will see how it changes as days progresses. I will keep you posted.

    A well done to you Lebo.

  126. by CharmaineNo Gravatar September 19th, 2011 3:24 pm

    Hi all!

    Day 8 and I’m feeling great. So much easier to follow the 2nd week than the 1st. I’ve lost about 4 kg’s when I weighed myself 2 days ago, only going to weigh in on Saturday again. Think this consciousness of what we’re eating (all the research I’m doing) will lead to a great change of lifestyle. That’s where the maintaining comes in handy so as not to gain what we’ve just lost. Recommending this to all my friends!

    Hang in there, it’s tough, but worth it :)

  127. by BradNo Gravatar September 21st, 2011 6:19 am

    Kia ora
    I started the diet on Sunday 4 days ago and weighed 116kgs, its now day four and i weigh 111.3kgs thats 4.7kgs gone. Im a little low on energy and have committed to seing the 13days through.

    Awesme diet just need to focus.

  128. by SharonNo Gravatar September 21st, 2011 10:02 pm

    Hi,
    I’m going on day 8 tomorrow. Still going strong.
    Tina, as far as i know anti depressants can cause weight gain in some people. So maybe this diet would help kick start your metabolism? Maybe you should phone your doc and ask if it’ll be ok. :-)

  129. by ruthNo Gravatar September 22nd, 2011 4:17 pm

    hi, im on day 4 of this diet and just wondering is it normal not to have regular bowel movements, i havent had one yet, is this normal appreciate any comments

  130. by SharonNo Gravatar September 23rd, 2011 9:04 am

    Hi ruth,
    Yes, i have irregular bowel movements. For me it is very lose and not every day. I think it effects everyone differently. I am on day 9 today.

  131. by ruthNo Gravatar September 23rd, 2011 5:37 pm

    thanks sharon, i have lost 3kg im in the middle of day 5, hoping to lose alot more, at day 9 what have u lost?

  132. by SolNo Gravatar September 25th, 2011 5:42 am

    I am starting Tomorrow. I am 69.7 kgs now. Good luck to everyone!!

  133. by SharonNo Gravatar September 25th, 2011 6:12 am

    Hi ruth,
    At day 11 now and weighed myself on day 9 i lost 4.2kg. It slowed down for me because i started my periods. So i’m only gonna weigh myself at the end now. By then i shouldn’t be bloated anymore. I’m so happy with what i’ve lost. Feels great. How did your weekend go? Hope u managed to stay strong. xxx

  134. by ruthNo Gravatar September 25th, 2011 10:05 am

    hi sharon, im on day 7 now, hoping it will get easier from day 8 onwards, it is tough but just takes alot of will power, i have lost 3-4kg so far, im not going to weigh myself again til the end, i reckon it will be a nice surprise and something to look forward to at the end to see what i have lost altogether. i have to admitt it doesnt really feel like i have lost 4 kg, but i must admitt my stomach feels alot flatter- i would love to lose 10 kg at the end-fingers crossed-hope the next 3 days go well for you,let me know- are you following day 1-7 on this website? mine is nearly the same just slight variations, ive taken mine from the slimming 4 all site

  135. by SharonNo Gravatar September 26th, 2011 6:09 am

    Hi ruth,
    Mine is from the live and feel website. Its called the metabolism change diet. Its very strict to follow so I’m surprised that i managed to be so strong. I also wanted to loose 10kg, but i’ve decided to be happy with whatever i loose. When i started i had to loose 20kg. So when this diet is over i’m gonna start exercising and eating healthy and do the diet again in 6 months.

  136. by BradNo Gravatar September 27th, 2011 11:44 am

    Kia ora im on day 9 now and have lost 9kgs, i will admit that i cheated once and couldnt resist eating a half of punnet of kina but i still lost weight and i feel fine. LEts see what the rest of the week brings.

    Day one of the diet and its not going bad at all. Black coffee without sugar or milk was not that bad at all. Also dusted off the orbitrek and got in 10 minutes of a workout. Damn I’m so out of shape! Wish me luck….

    Hi,

    I am glad this blog exist, its motivating to share with others. I am on day 5 but then on day 1 dinner i found myself in a party and there was no steak, instead i ate a small piece of chicken breast. Was that a biiiiiiiiiiig problem? Will i still get the results am looking for? Do i have to strictly, religiously follow this diet? Besides, some of these of these servings are too much for me. Please advice.

  147. by ImmaNo Gravatar October 10th, 2011 12:43 pm

    Hi ladies, you guys hav motivated me. I’m day 1 on this diet. Starting weight is 89

  148. by ImmaNo Gravatar October 10th, 2011 12:44 pm

    Ladies, can i always hav my coffee with sweetners?

  149. by SkyeNo Gravatar October 11th, 2011 7:16 am

    Day 2 for me. I feel good coz of the workout this morning. Starting weight a wopping 93kg’s. so good to know that i can check in with others that have also started with me on this diet. Besides a slight headache yesterday, it went fine. Ladies, good luck today and check in and let me know how your day went.

  150. by LolaNo Gravatar October 11th, 2011 11:30 am

    Day 2 for me toooo! Good luck all!

  151. by SkyeNo Gravatar October 12th, 2011 7:15 am

    Day 3 and I could not resist jumping on the scale. Down 1.5 kg’s already. And the I feel so energised after doing this diet together with the exercise. Yay!

  152. by KagisoNo Gravatar October 12th, 2011 7:55 am

    After careful consideration, i decided to start the diet again today. Last time i got so sick but it was because i was also taking slim tea wich literally cleans your stomach, its almost like laxatives, but the problem was my stomach was almost empty everyday. So i ended up having the worst stomach cramps. So this time i will be drinking rooibos tea with lemon, only. for me this is not just another fad diet i want to try out, it is about sticking to a plan for at least 2 weeks i always always give up after the 1st week. im 90 kg n im getting married mid december, i have exactly 2 months to drop as much as possible, I will be alternating between this one and the calorie shifting diet, since it is not that low in calories. honestly i would like to be @ least 15 to 20kg lighter. wish me luck

  153. by KagisoNo Gravatar October 13th, 2011 1:47 pm

    Where is every1? Oh well my day 1 is going pretty well. Just need motivation to take a 45 min to an hour walk later today. Scale can be your best friend or your worst nightmare. I find it easier to weigh myself everyday, get dissapointed and discouraged on a daily basis . than to wait for the 7th day n realise i lost nothing or gained. So i have to figure out which 1 i prefer this 2 weeks. The suprise of realising i lost after 7 days excites me as well. Hmmmm, dilemma indeed

    Hi Everybody, Im starting the diet on Sunday. so interesting to follow everybody’s progress

  156. by AngelaNo Gravatar October 14th, 2011 5:24 am

    I got this diet from a Chinese dietitian and just realized that it’s the metabolism diet. On the end of the 4th day (toughest day so far) but I’m doing so good so far!

  157. by Ms PNo Gravatar October 14th, 2011 8:00 am

    hey guys, im on day 3 and so far i’ve lost 3 kg and im soo excited. my only worry is the sagging. i suppose i need to jog or take walks to tone but im loving the progress. unfortunately, i have to cook for my family everyday and hard as it is to resist the yummy stews i make them, i am motivated and disciplined. cheers everybody

  158. by SkyeNo Gravatar October 14th, 2011 8:28 am

    Day five for me ladies and I feel so much better than last week. Much more energised because of the healthy food, the exercise and all the water I am drinking. The weekend is coming up and I am determined not to find any excuse to cheat. On Monday I will weigh myself again to see whats the progress. Good luck to all of u and if u get any cravings this weekend…just drink a litre of water and you’ll be too full to think about eating anything. lol

  159. by KagisoNo Gravatar October 14th, 2011 8:29 am

    Im on Day 2, didnt get an oppotunity to walk yesterday. Since i need to walk/jog for 6 hours a week, and i will have to add 10 minutes to tidays walk. Oh and so far i lost a kilo. yes couldnt resist the scale, i decided it will be my closest friend till the 14th day. Imagine if i were to lose between 5 and 10 kg just like all the testimonies i read above.

  160. by KagisoNo Gravatar October 14th, 2011 8:32 am

    Ms P.

    I dont think sagging will be a big problem, just make sure after you reach your goal weight, or after the diet you start with strength training and i think now jogging or brisk walking will also help,

    Good luck

  161. by Ms PNo Gravatar October 14th, 2011 8:53 am

    Thanks Kagiso, Please let me know how you go. I wont let the heat keep me from achieve my goals. Botswana is a nightmare. By the way, i keep seeing posts for 14 days. I thought this diet was meant for 7 days and becomes unhealthy when you go beyond?

  162. by KagisoNo Gravatar October 14th, 2011 9:08 am

    Ms P

    No its also called the 13 day diet. Its so hot, that is also my problem, Im going to try walking at around 5:30, will probably only nwalk 30 minutes, and maybe 15 minutes of stepping on my front door step and do 15 minutes of either stationary jogging or marching on the same sport whilel watching a soapie. then stretch for 10 minutes. I hope i can stick to that for at least these 2 weeks

  163. by nozukoNo Gravatar October 16th, 2011 4:17 pm

    Its my first day on the diet en I’m feeling so weak en hungry gland I found ths site coz now I feel motivated

  164. by ShashNo Gravatar October 16th, 2011 7:55 pm

    Hey people… after all the positive reviews I’m convinced and have finally started this diet today…
    Today being my first day I was just a little drained out and sleepy coz I miss my evening Tea…. but was not atall hungry….
    I checked my weight today and I’m 85 kgs… will check again on Thurday… that will be my day 5… and will keep you posted on my progress…..

    Hoping for this to work for me to lose my maximum weight…. All the best to everyone following this ;o))

  165. by TanyaNo Gravatar October 17th, 2011 7:36 am

    Today is my first day – I weigh 80 kg will let you know how its going.

  166. by KagisoNo Gravatar October 17th, 2011 8:06 am

    Today is my 5th day, I cheated badly this weekend, but im gon keeping going until the 13th day, so far i lost 3kg. im now 87kg. I will try not to weigh myself for the next 3 days cos 5 is just too long for me. ;) but i did a 3km walk this morning, will do it again for a while.

  167. by SkyeNo Gravatar October 17th, 2011 12:06 pm

    Its been a week since I started the diet and I have lost nearly 4 kg’s. The weekend was so hard but I managed to hang in there – even with the kids shoving biscuits, chips and chocolates in my face. A bit disappointed coz I thought I would lose more. But hey, I still got 6 more days to go. But even if I dont lose the 8kg’s I will still be happy with the weight loss and promise to keep up the healthy eating and exercise – although I dont think I would want to eat steak again for a while. lol

  168. by AngeliqueNo Gravatar October 17th, 2011 4:04 pm

    On Day four and dying of thirst, even though I have just finished drinking 3 l of water today. lost 3 kg already so very happy. Going home now to my fruit and yogurt. Actually enjoyed the carrots and cheese – made a salad from it. Just wish I could have another cup of coffee or at least someother than water – its getting to be very Blegh.Well done to all the others.

  169. by TanyaNo Gravatar October 17th, 2011 4:50 pm

    1st day was easier than expected. I’m feeling very tired today BUT I have to go to Gym. Had 3l of water just like Angelique today.

  170. by AngeliqueNo Gravatar October 18th, 2011 6:58 am

    Help! Suffering bad with constipation, any ideas. drinking more than my required quota of water. Normally suffer from constipation and when it gets to bad I do a salt water flush. Think I can do it with this diet?

  171. by KagisoNo Gravatar October 18th, 2011 8:25 am

    its my 6th day and i am still stuck on 3kg loss. was really hoping to lose a little more than that, but who knows since i started walking i might just lose 1kg before i start a new week. on thursday. wont weigh myself tomoro morning will weigh on the 8th day morning. hoping for a suprise, mayb 1 to 2 more kilos lost

  172. by TanyaNo Gravatar October 18th, 2011 8:52 am

    Im on day 2 and dropped 1 kg. Weight 79.00 this morning. Also went to gym for the first time in a very long time. Was very tired yesterday but Im feeling much better today …… ohhhh Im so excited I LOVE THIS DIET and I will HANG IN THERE ITS ONLY DAYS!! I only have 11.75 days to go. Good luck to everybody.

  173. by KagisoNo Gravatar October 18th, 2011 8:54 am

    @ Angelique, I believe this diet has nothing to do with your metabolism, it is a very low calorie diet that will help you to lose fast. I eat gum, because i work with clients and this diet makes your breath smell. So have you salt water

  174. by AngeliqueNo Gravatar October 18th, 2011 12:06 pm

    Thanks Kagiso.
    One problem have not had to deal with yet (thank goodness)Main goial now is to start getting some exercise into my life. Just too full of life is busy excuses. Day 5 is going okay, just forgot my tomatoes at home. But hate tomatoes so not feeling to bad about them. Woke up very hungry this morning after just having apples and yogurt for supper. Looking forward to my steak supper.

  175. by TanyaNo Gravatar October 18th, 2011 12:26 pm

    Kagiso the reason why you only lost 3 kg on day 6 is because you are not following the diet correctly. If this diet is followed in strict manner you should loose a lot of your excess body fat. If during the 13 days you consume 1 beer, 1 glass of wine, 1 piece of chewing gum or any extra food, you may as well stop the diet because it is pointless and the diet will no longer have any affect. The purpose of this diet is to change your metabolism with the result that after the diet you can eat normally again. This is NOT a crash diet but a diet to change your metabolism and digestion. One of my friend lost 46 kg by sticking to the rules for 13 days …….. and repeating the diet every 3 months. Another friend lost also 20 kg. I have a book on this diet and I’m just giving you the information in my book. GOOD LUCK

  176. by AngeliqueNo Gravatar October 18th, 2011 8:28 pm

    Crap. Realised tonight I ate the wrong days breakfast. Had the bread instead of the carrots for Day 5. What Now? Do I eat carrots for breakfast and for supper?

  177. by TanyaNo Gravatar October 19th, 2011 5:49 am

    Day 3 for me and dropped another kg. Weight now 78kg and on my way to Gym.

  178. by AngeliqueNo Gravatar October 19th, 2011 7:42 am

    Morning of Day 6 and now lost 4.2 kg. Very happy even if I did screw up yesterdays breakfast. Having the carrots for breakfast today and then for supper, probably will look a bit orange tomorrow. hahaha. Still can’t decide what to have for supper tomorrow. Pizza is too guilty, Mac and cheese is to carby. A burger is to much like steak. Don’t want to see fish or I am sure after today’s lunch don’t want to see chicken and enough with the green salad. What amazes me about this diet is that I am not craving sugar. Normally I just want to have something sweet even a lozenge to help the craving.

  179. by TanyaNo Gravatar October 19th, 2011 10:38 am

    Wow Angelique well done Girl. That was plenty of carrots for one day !!! Good luck for tomorrow.

  180. by AngeliqueNo Gravatar October 19th, 2011 11:09 am

    Thanks Tanya. I feel like a rabbit right now and I still have supper to look forward too. LOL

  181. by TanyaNo Gravatar October 19th, 2011 7:31 pm

    Wow day 3 finish …….. can’t wait for tomorrow!!! Only 10 days to go ………… hubby took the battery out of the scale so I can’t weigh myself every hour !!!! He promised to give it back on Friday for me to weigh YEPIE …….. so excited. I feel great this is the best diet I’ve ever been on.

    @Angelique how the constipation going?

  182. by ShashNo Gravatar October 19th, 2011 8:23 pm

    Hey people… finished my day 4 successfully….
    But I’m really wondering that do we really need to consume all the food as per the portion mentioned… I mean its sometimes too much for me and I really cant finish it all…. so is it ok to just eat only till I’m full rather than forcing myself to finish everything???

    Secondly, how much do we really need to work out during this diet??? if we dont work out will the diet not be effective???

    Please help….

    Hi Tanya.

    Was happy to be able to get rid of the constipation by letting nature take its very long course( wink wink). On Day 7 today and just not a happy camper. Aunt Flo came to visit yesterday so was very close to cheating and giving into the craves. Two helpings of carrots proved to be too much so did not eat enough last night and woke up to a very empty stomach which not a good thing when only having lemon tea for breakfast.Sorry just not having a good mental day. Was stupid to weigh myself and then was upset as I had put on weight and then was cross at myself for even weighing myself when I am bloated. Looking forward tonights anything you want supper and then hopefully can start with a better mental place tomorrow. :)

  185. by TanyaNo Gravatar October 20th, 2011 8:32 am

    I’m on day 4 today … weight 77.5 ……… I’m 2.5 down.

    @Shash I’m very unfit and I started going to gym for 30 minutes only on Monday. Bicycle for 15 min on level 2 and treadmill 15 min on level 3. Otherwise I will die. If you can’t go to gym …. walk around the block or take the stairs at work even 15 min exercise will do – Good luck

    @Glad to hear the constipation is under control. Please dont give up please please please. We are in the same boat Aunt Flo came to visit this morning … but Im not gonna give up. At least you have the steak for lunch and a NICE dinner. Im starting with carrots today – HANG IN THERE GIRL!!

  186. by ShashNo Gravatar October 20th, 2011 9:23 am

    @Tanya: Thanks Tanya…. I do the walking bit but not for very long…. moreover my concerns is that do I really need to eat the complete portions… coz at times I really feel full with only half the meal and then I feel like throwing up if I continue to eat…..

    Me, my bro & his girlfirend are doing this diet…… we all need to lose atleast 10 kgs… I just hope it works for us… ;o))

  187. by SpakesNo Gravatar October 20th, 2011 10:03 am

    Hi everyone… i’ve always wanted to do this diet but not had enough guts. after reading all yo post i feel inspired. Tommorow will be my 1st day. wish me luck.

  188. by AngeliqueNo Gravatar October 20th, 2011 12:42 pm

    Feeling much better mentally now. Devoured my steak and apples (wierd combo). Went to the shops during lunch as a walk and bought my groceries for week 2. Just really tired and stress at work not helping. Day just seems very long.

  189. by TanyaNo Gravatar October 20th, 2011 3:46 pm

    Hi Everyone
    @shash when I drink to much water I fell like throwing up when I eat…. but I’msooo thirsty.

    Hey just wanted to check can I use code fish with white fish or tuna…. coz its really very difficult to find code or trout or plaice…..

    kindly suggest… please help ;o))

  193. by SpakesNo Gravatar October 21st, 2011 10:32 am

    Day 1, had my black coffee and looking forward to my lunch. The day is going so slow. but i’m staying positive. My starting weight is 112kg.

  194. by AngeliqueNo Gravatar October 21st, 2011 12:47 pm

    day 8. All going well. Only problem was my spinach that I froze from last week had a funny taste to it so instead of risking food poisoining I rather threw it away and just ate the eggs. Not feeling hungry though?? And only had a litre of water so far. Was going to try to eat smaller quanties of the all you can eat this time around, so all good if no appetitie. Ha ha ha. Tonight grilled steak, but first another litre. Have a good weekend everyone and check up on you and your amazing weight results on Monday. Hoping for another two.

  195. by TanyaNo Gravatar October 21st, 2011 1:18 pm

    Today is difficult BUT i will not give up. We have baseball tomorrow and Sunday I have to be strong !!! Its only days ….

  196. by ShashNo Gravatar October 21st, 2011 7:43 pm

    Helllooooo….completed my day 6 successfully…. was at the verge of giving up though coz my bro and his girlfriend dropped out…. but thankfully my husband convinced me to continue…. just hoping for the results to be as I’m expecting by the end of the 13th day…. 7 more days to go…… but some how I really dont find much of a difference…. is there something wrong???

  197. by KataNo Gravatar October 21st, 2011 8:35 pm

    Question: what happens if I split the lunch into 2 and have them separately first at 12am and later 4pm because if I eat at lunch time I won’t survive until dinner. The portion is still small and I eat the food whatever is on the menu. Like I ate a bit of the carrots yesterday and later ate the cheese…??? It’s day 6 for me, can’t wait for Sunday evening.

  198. by AngeliqueNo Gravatar October 22nd, 2011 4:47 pm

    Day 9 had my ham and oh my gawd still hungry. No more ham to eat. If I was going to cheat it wud be tonight. Just drank another half litre to keep hungry away. Think I must go crawl into bed and go slepp rather to get my mind off of food. So close to the end now to cheat.

  199. by AngeliqueNo Gravatar October 23rd, 2011 7:22 am

    So was good and bad. Hahaha. Sucked on a chip to get the flavour and then spat it out. See why u should not carry on with the diet as it gets to much.

  200. by KataNo Gravatar October 23rd, 2011 1:47 pm

    I’m sooo disappointed. It’s day 7 and I only lost 2,5 kgs-3 kgs…I know when you are not too big like I am you loose it slowly, and I didn’t expect 10 kgs on week 1 but maybe 4-5 kgs??? Do you think the progress will speed up next week? I didn’t cheat at all I stuck to the menu although I didn’t excescise.

  201. by goodyNo Gravatar October 23rd, 2011 6:01 pm

    hi everyone, very inspired reading this site. I started the diet today and the day went fine. Can anyone suggest if ham can be substituted? I dont eat ham – someone help!!

  202. by TanyaNo Gravatar October 24th, 2011 7:17 am

    Day 8 for me ……………… start weight was 80kg and I lost 4kg last week ………… my weight now is 76kg. Looking forward to this week and hope to loose another 3kg. The weekend was difficult sitting next to the Baseball field with my water while everybody was drinking and braaing …… BUT I did not cheat and still going on. I only have today and another 5 days to go.

  203. by jessieNo Gravatar October 24th, 2011 7:49 am

    Day 8 starting weight 102.7 total loss thus far 2.7kgs hope the losses are more this week.Hang in there everyone

  204. by SpakesNo Gravatar October 24th, 2011 9:09 am

    Its now day 4 and have lost 2.5kg thus far. I must say that it gets easier to follow the diet as days go by. I’ll try and put in some exercise tonight. Lets do it gals & boys.

  205. by AngeliqueNo Gravatar October 24th, 2011 9:10 am

    Day 11. Feeling very down today. Still busy with my period, which I think the diet is causing as I am on the injection and was supposed to go this week for my next shot. Started spotting on Wednesday and still going. Weightloss is 4.5 kg so far, was so hoping for more as only lost 300 grams since day 6. Finding that breakfast and lunch time just not hungry and then starving at night. Normally have four slices of bread in morning, today the second slice is still staring at me. I know I should be happy that I am not hungry but finding it very strange and just wrong? Can’t look at a green salad anymore. Going to enjoy the apples and yogurt tonight as a nice change.

  206. by MandyNo Gravatar October 24th, 2011 3:06 pm

    Day 2- havent weighed myself. Feeling no difference, I hope there will be a change by end of the week…off to jog- 5kms.

  207. by TanyaNo Gravatar October 25th, 2011 8:01 am

    Morning Ladies, today is day 9 for me …………… lost 4.5kg still have today and 4 more days to go. Last 4 days I only lost 0.5 and plenty cm’s ? Maybe because I just don’t have time to go to Gym anymore.

    @Angelique …….. it must be the diet because I’m also still on my period (which I normally only have like 3 days) and I’m ……….. very emotional (cried at the Baseball on Sunday because of a comment somebody made LOL). I know I’m an emotional eater and now I can’t eat when I get upset.

    Overall I feel good ……… and can fit into my size 36 jeans.

    GOOD LUCK TO EVERYBODY AND HANG IN THERE LADIES ITS ONLY DAYS !!!!

  208. by jessieNo Gravatar October 25th, 2011 8:31 am

    Wow the support from you guys makes it worth continuing,was so close to giving up yesterday. Day 9 have not weighed again today only lost 2.7kg as of yesterday.Also experience a bit of spotting which should not happen as I have the marena in but it comes and goes. Four more days hope I see some drastic changes

  209. by goodyNo Gravatar October 25th, 2011 10:16 am

    hi …has anyone experienced constant headaches while on this diet. I’m on day 3 and the headaches don’t seem to go away.

    Hi Goody. Headaches should be gone by day 4. -ts your body detoxing. Happens to me on alll diets.6inding it amazing how everyone is expierancing funny menstraul cycles.Day 12 going ok. Just suffering from constipation again.

  211. by goodyNo Gravatar October 25th, 2011 11:02 am

    hi angelique…thanks for this. I am hoping my headaches do away tomorrow as m on day 3 and my scale is 2 kgs down. I intend to stick to this.

  212. by IllyNo Gravatar October 25th, 2011 12:06 pm

    On day 3, constant headaches, started my period yesterday. Started at 73.6kg, want to wait till the end of the week to find out how much I’ve lost. Is there any diet pills you can consume with this diet to increase the weight loss. Going home in December and want to look my best for my boyfriend.

  213. by MandyNo Gravatar October 25th, 2011 2:33 pm

    Guys,please help! Does Nandoos chicken qualify as grilled de-skinned chicken for day 6? What is lemon tea? Can i use tea with lemon juice if i dnt have lemon tea?

  214. by AngeliqueNo Gravatar October 25th, 2011 5:41 pm

    Hi Mandy. I make rooibos tea with lemon juice. Tomrrow is last day so not worried if wrong.Don’t think Nandos will work as they bas the chicken. I just chuck a chicken breast with salt and pepper into the microwave.

  215. by TanyaNo Gravatar October 25th, 2011 6:53 pm

    If you get headache do not take any tablets or capsules, just drink extra water or hot water with cloves.
    @Jessie which diet are you following? The one placed by Hendrika September 8th, 2011 12:27 pm or the one on top of this page?
    @Angelique good luck with your last day tomorrow please let us know how much weight you lost.
    Day 9 done and dusted I have 4 days to go …..

  216. by AngeliqueNo Gravatar October 26th, 2011 8:37 am

    Thanks Tanya. I happened to take a panado on my Day 3 for my headache – whoops. At least now for future session. Did not know about hot water and cloves for a headache – learn something new everyday.

    Looking for a low carb eating plan to follow on this after this diet. Anybody got any suggestions? Always just find it so hard to cook and prepare foods without bread, potatoes, rice, pasta or flour. I am Insulin resistance and am not supposed to eat any carbs really. I start getting bored and introduce some carbs, then land up eating all carbs – miss my pasta.
    :(

    Good Morning everyone…….Day 10 weighed this morning and 3.7kg down absolutely excited.@Tanya I am on the diet posted by Hendrika. I also suffered with chronic constipation on this diet but took some herbal laxatives called softlax.I also seem to think that this diet works purely because of the little amount of calories taken in. I also experienced that as the diet progresses you tend to not feel so hungry and overeat than usual,not sure whether you guys experienced that.Intending to go on the 3 day heart foundation diet from Monday as I have lost quite a bit on that one the last time as well.

  219. by MandyNo Gravatar October 26th, 2011 11:49 am

    Thanks a lot Angelique, I weighed myself yesterday and have lost 1.6kg from the last time i weighed which is 3 weeks ago. I might have lost more because i started this diet because i was scared that i had gained in the 3 weeks as i was pigging out. Feel good, i cant wait to finish my period. Maybe i will see more progress. Will weigh myself in Day 7 and let u guys know….Day 4 for me today, no headaches and no hunger!!! Cant wait to finish!! Having my carrots and cheese as we speak…..!!!

  220. by AngeliqueNo Gravatar October 27th, 2011 7:59 am

    So depending on which scale I use, I either lost 4.6kg or 5.4kg. Still can’t see it anywhere though,but just happy the scale is lower. Going to keep trying to not eat carbs and eat better. Got used to black coffee with sweetner so will keep on with that – the milk is just extra calories.All th best to everyone still on the diet, will check on you every now and then.

  221. by TanyaNo Gravatar October 27th, 2011 10:21 am

    Im on day 11 today and lost a 5kg ……… I did not follow the diet strictly. I tried but my husband made me Black forest tea instead of Lemon Tea on Day 7 and I think that was the problem. I’ve only lost 1kg since Sunday … but I’m not gonna give up. GOOD LUCK TO EVERYONE and please don’t drink Black Forest Tea on this diet !!! LOL

    Hi ladies

    I have had this diet since last week, went through it over and over again and then went to buy the ingredients last week… Today is my first day, not easy but I made it… Good thing is I don’t eat too much anyways but having to monitor what I eat and when I eat it is a bit of a challenge… Over the weekend was feeling tired, nauseous, a bit dizzy and was craving – wasn’t sure if starting the diet now is a good idea… but I did… so far so good, all is well…

    Well I normally drink a lot of water, and squat at home every day and that has helped me but now I really do want to lose at least 10 kg and reading your comments has really inspired me so so so much… I have been going to pee a lot, not sure why though…

    As for the scale, we have never been friends, I don’t weigh myself at all… scales can be really depressing but my clothes will help me more than the scale…

    Today I felt really tired, I mean really tired but no headaches…

    Hi Guys I’m on day 7 lost 3kg and 33cm so far. Can someone recommend a diet I can follow after my 13 days are done I still need to loose 17kg’s to be at a healthy weight this diet has motivated me so much to get to my goal weight but I know it’s dangerous to continue it after 13 days. So please if anyone can recommend a follow-up diet that works. Thanks.

  228. by MinnieNo Gravatar November 2nd, 2011 11:57 am

    Hi Antonetta,

    A friend of mine tried the jump start juice and she lost ~ 2.5 kg in 1 week and she had cheated. You can try that one. You can buy the juicer, it comes with the diet of how u should prepare the juice for 7 days. It targets the stomach area mostly. I am thinking of doing it next.

  229. by kysha23No Gravatar November 2nd, 2011 12:43 pm

    hey all, iam starting my day one of the diet tomorrow…i hope i get to keep up.
    ive tried this diet before but i only made it to day six but with lots of cheatings but am hoping to persist this time.

  230. by AmandaNo Gravatar November 3rd, 2011 12:31 am

    my roommate and i also started this diet and we are currently on day 4… honestly speaking it is not easy at all. we eat and consume the food specified just the way stated, we don not even add any sort of seasoning to the food. we exercise everyday to help with the amount of weight loss. i even stopped smoking as i was so paranoid to even think it was going to mess up our diet but it helped especially when we exercise. we are hoping to drop at least 2 jean sizes by the end of the diet. im grateful i have someone who is as motivated as; my roommate. thanx guyz please carry on motivating us all.

    Hello guys

    I don’t know where to begin. I’ve tried every diet in the book, wasted lots of money on detox diets and gym. I’m not close to giving uo because I’m always on the website searching for better diets and quick fixes. I will doing groceries soon so I should be able to start the soon before christmas or so. I lost weight on detox diets but i regained over winter. I’m so glad I found you guys, I’m so inspired.

  232. by AngeliqueNo Gravatar November 3rd, 2011 6:49 am

    Hi there gals. Glad to hear more are starting on the diet. Can’t wait to go back on. Started the ” Miracle heart 3 day diet on Tuesday and today is my last day. My daughter woke me up at 4:30 so today is going to be rough with no coffee. Down another kilo so very happy. Still trying to find a low carb eating plan that does not involve me having to have eggs and sausage for breakfast every morning – some of the eating plans out there are wierd. Good luck to all. Counting down the days till I can start again.

    Can you really drink diet soda on this diet? I notice it is not on any of the other 13 day metabolism diet sites?? I ask as I just love diet soda and will drink some if I am allowed. I’m on day three and have lost 3kgs.

  241. by TaniaNo Gravatar November 8th, 2011 10:05 am

    Hi Joelene, I only drink water …. I’m following the diet posted by hendrika not the one at the top. I dont know about the other people but for me water only works well … its only for 13 days

    I want to know on the Metabolism diet if I can take my preworkout supplement, per serving there is only 47 Calories per 500ml, but does have creatine in for recovery and strength.

    would like to know if this would affect the diet negatively?

    Thank you!

  256. by TESNo Gravatar November 13th, 2011 6:10 pm

    What about vinegar/lemon as a dressing for the green salad and does that mean lettuce and cucumber?

  257. by TESNo Gravatar November 14th, 2011 6:34 am

    The coffee made me ill yesterday, can I do tea. Any way felt much better last night, my hubby made some amazing steak. Ive now lost 1.6, Ive got much too loose I’m extremely overweight, thanks for the info Angie.
    I still need to know if I can use lemon and vinegar as part of my salad dressing. And what can I use for the green salad

  258. by AngieNo Gravatar November 14th, 2011 7:07 am

    Hi Tess, no seasonings other than salt and pepper – sorry. One normally feels kak on the second and third day – its your body detoxing from all the toxins in your body. You will find once day three done, its a breeze – you also never want to see ham and steak for a while. I had chicken polony last night instead of the ham and still lost another 1.1 this morning. I have looked up green salad on the internet and from what I can find if its green its a green salad. This is my second time on the diet and doing things a bit different as tired of salads, so instead of green salad and steak yesterday for lunch I had grilled steadk, cucumber sticks and steamed brocolli. I know its not accurate but have not waited the full three months yet to go back on the diet. My warped mind is telling me that if I jumble things up a bit then can’t do any damage. Tess I think if this is your first time on the diet, I think stick to it 100%.

  259. by TESNo Gravatar November 14th, 2011 12:47 pm

    Hi Angie

    Thanks so much appreciate it, I’m feeling good so far, how much did u loose the first time ? Yah its actually going so well for me although I can’t believe that you can eat unlimited bread !!!!

  266. by cherylNo Gravatar November 15th, 2011 8:39 am

    Hi guys

    I’m now on day 3 of the diet, i’ve lost 1kg since i started, i’m also a bit disappointed because i expected to have lost 3 by day 3. A week before i started this diet i had start to exercise, for at least an hour a day, and within 4 days i had lost 2 kilos but i had since stopped after starting on this diet. Now i’m thinking what would happen if i combine the two, diet and exercise. I honestly believe that you never fully lose the maximum possible weight without some exercise, i think all the ladies that lose hectically have had some form of exercise. So come on ladies, lets get to it, no pain no gain is the moto, i’ll keep you posted still on my progress.

  267. by AngieNo Gravatar November 15th, 2011 12:04 pm

    DAY4 gong well, just hope I remeber to take my yogurt home, eating my boiled carrots and melted cheese. Water not doing so well today, not even finished half a litre.

  268. by MeNo Gravatar November 16th, 2011 8:34 am

    hey guys.

    Im on the 13day diet and it is AMAZING. I started 10 days ago at 74kgs. Day 3 was the worst as i thought i was gonna lose my marbles, but i soldiered on. I weighed myself on day 7 and i was 68kgs. That is a total of 6kgs!!!! loving it. I will weigh myself on day 14 and will let you know what the total weight will be. but i definitely recommend it to anyone wanting to lose the extra flab coz it works!!!!

    Gudluck to those who are yet to start. and to those who are struggling with it, it is so worth it.

    All going well on my side I’m enjoying my food soo much, although yogurt wasn’t great tonight, but had a nice big bowl of fruit salad. Im on DAY 4 and weighed in this morning and ive lost 2.6 kg’s. So hang in there ladies. I look forward to my food and try not to focus on things Im not found of. What Ive down to alleviate boredom of eating just ham or just steak etc is that Im buying different variations of these. last night I ate four different types of ham. I love the version Im on because mostly I can eat till Im satisfied, sometimes may be hungry between meals but not tempted to scoff something- this is a big win for me.. Does anyone know if you need to stay within the constraints of the diet for Saturday night- eat what you would like? Im not sure if I can do the version with the restrictions with the proteins. Keep it up ladies and hang in there!

  273. by ROZANNENo Gravatar November 17th, 2011 12:30 pm

    Hi everyone

    I’m on day 4 of the diet and expect to have lost at least 10kg by the end of this diet.
    I weighed myself before I started and will weigh again the 20th. I’m keeping my fingers crossed.

    Must say day 1 was the worst for me thank goodness I suvvied it. Today I feel abit hungry since I already ate my lunch (carrots and chees) but will keep on drinking water till supper time.

    I’m very hopefull that I’ll reach my goal weight.

    Hi Ladies

    I”m very weary of “fad” diets and “cutting” calories as you land up slowing your metabolism down. I must say I’m on day 5 and haven’t felt this energised in a while which is very encouraging after usually feeling lethargic and fatigued when you cut down your food in take.

    I’m not over weight and fairly active, but I’ve been struggling to drop the winter kg’s. I’m very chuffed to say i’ve lost 1.8kg in 4 days which for me is unbelievable.

    Thanks for all the encouragement and motivationals above, it really helps keep one going!

    Hi,
    I am on day 3, but very, very hungry. any suggestions to curb the hunger attack?

  284. by OlwethuNo Gravatar November 23rd, 2011 11:31 am

    @ Hungry don’t think about the food it only gets easier from there ………Think positive what do you want to achieve at the end of this exercise ……….don’t lose hope and give up you are almost there ……..All the best!!!!!

  287. by HungyNo Gravatar November 24th, 2011 7:49 am

    Thanks Superstar, the motivation will get me through another day!

    Hello ladies. I am starting my diet on monday, I am doing it with my friend, we will be supporting each other throughout this 14 days journey, I cannot wait to start and I hope for good results. I have to look good during xmas. I have a good weightloss plan for when I get off the metabolism diet. The diet includes, boiled eggs for BF, 100g steak and 110g vegetables for Lunch and 100g vegetables with any type of protein dinner. The person that gave it to me lost over 13kgs over 3months. Goodluck and thanks for the support.

  297. by AnnieNo Gravatar November 29th, 2011 8:34 am

    I just finished the 13 day diet yesterday and I must say I loved the results. I lost 7kg’s and I hope to keep it off with healthy diet hence forth. T’was a bit of a torture teh first two days as I also felt nausea and headaches. Had serious cravings but never gave in on them after watching the kilos drop every day! I would mind repeating this again after a year or so. All the best to those in the course of the diet and hey, don’t give in!

  298. by TsholofeloNo Gravatar November 30th, 2011 4:09 am

    Congrats Annie. My first day was yesterday, i loved the steak and green salad but fact that it wasnt spiced to my hearts desire but its cool its only a matter of days. My start weight wa 78.5kgs, I would love to lose the 8.5kgs and deal with the 10kgs next year. I have a pic of a skinny me pasted on my wall, everytime I think of cheating I look at the pic. Still a long way to go though…. 12 days

  301. by TsholofeloNo Gravatar December 1st, 2011 5:58 am

    Today is day 3 and I am not feeling hungry at all. I must say I was feeling a bit lonely last night. Had a headache so I decided to sleep. I havent weighed again and I’m not going to weigh until day 14. Thanks ladies and goodluck to the newcomers. Sibulele no snacking at all. You can can snack on fruit when you come off the diet girl. This is a weight reduction diet.

  306. by TsholofeloNo Gravatar December 5th, 2011 5:43 am

    Hey guys, I forgot my lemon for the lemon tea and I will be home by 12 mid day. I will preparing the steak and fruit by then. I am busy going around asking my collegues if they have lemon juice just lying around. I know its foolish of me to forget it but it happens, especially when you are on this diet. LOL! I am hoping to lose 6kgs on this diet. So far I have lost 3kgs and Its day 7. My day 8 is tomoro. I am going to have a normal supper, chicken rice and a few salads. I miss reall food, i hope i wont put on any pound or gram for that matter. This weight thing has depressed me to a point of no return. Thats all I ever talk about, weight!

  315. by TeeNo Gravatar December 28th, 2011 6:14 pm

    Day 1: I have just had my steak and an it was solo good. I am glad day one is over
    Does anyone know if it’s ok to do extreme workouts on this diet…. I don’t wanna faint at gym!

    Thank you all for the motivation :)

  316. by TeeNo Gravatar December 29th, 2011 9:19 am

    Day 2: yikes having a bit of a tough day… It is only 10:17 but I am starving. I woke up solo full. I am so ready to eat my lunch…Nini hope to write later with a successful update!

    I also have a hectic gym session with my personal trainer… Again I am afraid I might faint today… Cross fingers for me!

  317. by TeeNo Gravatar December 29th, 2011 10:23 pm

    Day 2 cont: so I am done with day two… I had a hectic gym session with my personal trainers…. My body is exhausted! I did by energade by mistake, but had to empty it out and only get water :(

    Went to watch mission impossible ans resisted popcorn and drinks. The ham and water were gross but I chowed them like there was no tomorrow…lol

    Is this diet tough… YES, but doable :)

  318. by TeeNo Gravatar December 30th, 2011 8:47 am

    Day 3: well it has been a good start to the day… Scale says I have lost 2.5 kgs. I still do not believe it. Wondering if this is because of the diet or because of the crazy personal training sessions I have been doing!

    Anyway will give feedback tonight

  319. by TeeNo Gravatar December 31st, 2011 3:10 pm

    Day 4: I did not update day 3 cont but it ended well. The calories were very few but I was fine all night.

    So I have swapped out day 4 and 5 because today is new yrs eve. I really did not want to cheat so I made sure fish and steak was today! Then on new yrs day I will go back to eating very low calories. So far I have not eaten lunch yet. Will update when the day is done.

  320. by TeeNo Gravatar January 1st, 2012 10:12 am

    Day 5: I am feeling a little more hungry today. Has two slices of bread tea this morning… I now think I have lost 3 kgs. If the gym scale says the same I will be blown away! That would meat that this diet s crazy effective.

    Don’t know how I will make this day, with such few calories to take in on née years day! Wish me luck!

    BTW: this sis day 4s diet on day 5!

  321. by TeeNo Gravatar January 2nd, 2012 10:33 am

    Day 6: wow I am so ready to ditch this diet! Does not help that this is that time of the month and baby is draining me today. I nearly bit into his hot cross bun! Lol

    So I have eaten two slices of bread with tea and now awaiting the lunch of a slice of chicken and lettuce… Blah!
    Ah well let’s hope we get over this day… Don’t even know if I I am losing weight anymore #fellingsorry for myself lol

  322. by TeeNo Gravatar January 3rd, 2012 9:14 am

    Day 7: so day 6 brought no quitting or cheating… But day 7 is TOUGH!!! OMW I am uncomfotably starving. I have a good mind to eat some water melon just go keep the diet going. I though it would be easier to maintain the diet because I am back at work… But nope…. Dying!

    Will water melon really mess us the metabolism thing?

  323. by CarmyNo Gravatar January 3rd, 2012 12:35 pm

    Hi, This is day 1 of the diet for me. I’ve decided that I don’t want to weigh myself during the diet, but rather see the results when the 13 days is over. Wish me luck.

  324. by SamNo Gravatar January 3rd, 2012 1:40 pm

    Hi Guys

    I started with this diet today, 64.5 going for 50…
    Is it necessary to “excer” while dieting, cause I really dont have any time left with two babies

  325. by TeeNo Gravatar January 4th, 2012 6:57 am

    Day 8: after feeling very hungry and low yesterday I decided to add water melon in the morning and instead of lamb chops I had grilled chicken breast and veggies. If I have ruined the diet, then be it… But I am sticking to it till the end.

    On day 8 I feel so great, energetic and about 3kgs down – goal weight was 55 kgs on my home scale. Now I want 55 on gym scale – that’s another 3kgs…. I believe I can drop that in the next 5days!! I really am feeling great today…. Even my jeans are a little loose! :)

  326. by CarmyNo Gravatar January 4th, 2012 7:52 am

    I think day 1 went well. I stuck to it. I didn’t have time to go shop for steak yesterday, so i substituted it with lamb chops, with all the excess fat removed. I added a tiny bit of salt and dried herbs. I’m having a cup of coffee now and will have one slice of wholewheat toast for breakfast – with no butter/margerine. I’m feeling confident, although there is still that part of me that wants to give up. I think I weigh about 110kg, so I really can’t afford to give up. I also told my family about my decision and they support me. Good luck to everyone on the diet. We can do it!

  327. by helenaNo Gravatar January 4th, 2012 11:21 am

    I did this diet, and lose about 4kg, the first day after the diet, I had quite a big meal for the next 3 days and I gained 6kg back! What is wrong? Ain’t this diet suppose to boost my metabolism? :( I am so dissapointed, I gained even more than the weight I lose. Useless 13 days scarification. Somebody help me, I am so confused.

  328. by TeeNo Gravatar January 4th, 2012 12:28 pm

    Hi Helena… sorry about that! This is the first time I am trying out this diet (personal trainer gave it to me) and I am no expert BUT I doubt that is changes one’s metabolism (just my opinion). What I think it does is teach us how to eat differently and more healthily. The 2lts of water is also an amazing cleanser to the system.

    This diet seems to help with the loss of water weight and hense the drastic drop of kgs. You therefore have to continue to eat healthily and drink loads of water afterwards. Your body has to readjust to normal meals – DO NOT eat whatever you want on day 14 etc… keep up the healthy smaller portion afterwards. that way you will continue to loose healthily!

    That is my 2c worth :)

    @Carmy – do not give up ever…push through the 13days just to see what happens. And oh.. dont substitute foods too much.

  329. by CarmyNo Gravatar January 4th, 2012 1:02 pm

    Thanks Tee. I’m so determined to stick to it and this site is helping me to stick to my goal. I agree with you that it doesn’t alter the metabolism and that it teaches us to eat healthier, so i’ve already decided to keep this up after day 13 and I believe that with everyone’s support on this site that it’s possible!

  330. by AngieNo Gravatar January 4th, 2012 3:50 pm

    Day 3 – started on Jan 2- been going ok. Done this before so know the pitfalls. Did a 45Min Zumba class last night and then did some home exercises-was amazed at how energetic I felt on so little calories. Was more amazed that I did not feel worse this morning- just it stiff- but loosened up in the pool teaching my kid to swim. Had a litle nap after lunch and woke up starving ready to attack the ham salad in the fridge for supper. Decided to take kid to play at Macdonalds- wierd I know but safer than home where food is free. Nursing a bottle of water until its time to go home and make her supper. Going to go look for my pilates DVD from the many last times I was on a diet lol. See u on Day 4

  331. by AngieNo Gravatar January 4th, 2012 6:56 pm

    @ Camy- I found the last time its easier to stay on diet if the whole family eats what u having. Like on Day 1 made everyonr steak eggs and chips and then cud still sit with them and eat supper. For tonight I made a big bowl of salad took out my portion and added ham and then for the others added other salad and made them fish to go with it. I find I don’t feel so secluded then – also good for the family to eat healthier.

  332. by TeeNo Gravatar January 5th, 2012 7:56 am

    Day 9: oh nooooo I took the wrong lunch today! Spinach, eggs and tomato… Oh well.

    I feel a bit tired today, but it’s cause of the hectic gym session from yesterday. Today is my last personal training session… And then after that is all about running and p90x!

    Good luck to you all with the diet :)

  333. by AngieNo Gravatar January 5th, 2012 2:12 pm

    I love cooked carrots with melted cheese. Yum yum. Hoping I can make an interesting supper from the fruit that I do eat and the bland yogurt. Day 4 going ok- just need to catch up on the the water. Tried the pilates tape but don’t have the core strength for it so will continue with my Zumba and weight training and try it again later.

  334. by AngieNo Gravatar January 5th, 2012 6:05 pm

    Day four over- made it past the fruit- I normally only eat apples but managed to work around the gag reflex and got a banana and some grapes down as well. Been on this diet before and never expieranced a runny tummy before. Today I have had to go twice- already the carrots have exited. Bit worried. The last I waa on this both myself and another two ladies sufferred irregular periods.Anybody expierancing weird stuff?

  335. by TeeNo Gravatar January 5th, 2012 6:36 pm

    Day 9 cont: ola people… Had an extremely tough workout this afternoon – really not a happy camper about how weak I was. in terms of the diet I feel awesome! I did have a little bit of muesli, but back on diet dinner! I am having ham and yoghurt!

    4 more days and I feel like this has gotten easy!

    @angie… My P’s seemed fine.

  336. by TeeNo Gravatar January 6th, 2012 9:05 am

    Day 10: I was sooooo hungry yesterday…. My little man woke up at 2:00 and struggled to sleep …. The hunger was crazy but I did not cheat.

    Today I really miss real food :( the only good thing is that I have 3 more days to go and really feel wonderful. Enjoying the flatter non-bloated tummy. My weight loss has halted – I think! Still on about 3kgs loss, but I don’t mind… My body feels good:)

    Celery and tomato for lunch! #hunger!!n

  337. by CarmyNo Gravatar January 6th, 2012 10:56 am

    I had a terrible day 3. I was sooo hungry. I cheated by eating fruit throughout the day and my child was eating chips, so i had a few- tasted so good! I had dinner at 6pm last night and added a slice of wholewheat bread. Back on the diet today. Day 4. I fell off the horse, but i’m back on.

  338. by TeeNo Gravatar January 6th, 2012 1:23 pm

    @carmy don’t even think of giving up… Like I am right now lol
    All I am thinking about is fooooooood… Real food. But I have to see what happens after day 13!

    Don’t worry… Right here with u!

  339. by AngieNo Gravatar January 6th, 2012 4:22 pm

    Day 5 went ok. Battled temptation at every turn but made it thru. Joining parents for a braai now so piutting my steak on the braai. Going to do tomorrows chicken lunch as well.Finished my two litres but still thirsty. Was in such a rush this morning that did not weigh myself.

  340. by AngieNo Gravatar January 6th, 2012 6:38 pm

    Damn so close to cheating!!!!Marshmallows on the fire smell amazing. My daughter keeps shoving things under my nose.

  341. by AngieNo Gravatar January 6th, 2012 6:43 pm

    Damn so close to cheating!!!!Marshmallows on the fire smell amazing. My daughter keeps shoving things under my nose. Her new game is to make me pick up something bring it to my mouth so that she can slap my hand and say no Mommy

  342. by TeeNo Gravatar January 6th, 2012 7:40 pm

    Day 10: don’t know hoe I feel today… Just don’t know. I don’t want to quit but am not feeling the diet this weekend!

    Help!

  343. by JohannNo Gravatar January 6th, 2012 10:34 pm

    I just finished my 2nd day, so far so good really. Amazing how long this blog has been running!

  344. by AngieNo Gravatar January 7th, 2012 6:00 am

    @ Tee- Hold strong- You”ve come so close to the end. Don’t give Temptation the stastifaction of winning. Read somewhere- Nothing tastes as good as being thinner feels.;ust Hold on. Everttime u want to give up, add that cheat thing to your Day14 supper instead and then u have something to look forward to.

  345. by JohannNo Gravatar January 7th, 2012 11:50 am

    @Angie, i did this diet last year and lost 7kg, but still had had about 15kg to go. Instead of carrying on with healthy eating i enduldged in all the bad foods i craved during the 13 days. I promised myself just one week of this bad habits but the one week became months! This time however i plan to start a new eating lifestyle on day 14 in order to loose all the weight i need to loose. I think its the kiss of failure for people to think of day 14 treats unless they have super strong will powers to keep it at day 14 and not beyond!
    @Tee start to plan NOW for day 14 and beyond!

  346. by AngieNo Gravatar January 7th, 2012 4:55 pm

    Day 6 – very long hot day! Couldn’t face another boiled egg so added water and made scrambled egg with cutup carrots. Actually quite nice. :) @Johann- did not mean that one shoul go apeshit for supper on Day 7 +8 but its something to keep you motivated to get to those days. If I do not cheat now Then I can have a bite on Day14. No one is saying to go on and eat. Evrything that you craved all in one meal- that’s what got us here in the first place. All the best to everyone else. Hope your Day went ok and was temptation free. See you all tomorrow.

  347. by JohannNo Gravatar January 7th, 2012 7:40 pm

    @Angie very true words :) I finished day 3 with ease although the ham went down harder than last night, tomorrow looks better with the fruit salad

  348. by TeeNo Gravatar January 8th, 2012 3:37 am

    Ola beautiful people…. The diet ends on day 12 for me…. I know i know. Don’t worry this is not about temptation of foods etc (maybe it is – lol). I will probably eat day 13 foods, but will start the day with proper cereal/oats. I start an extreme workout program and a marathon running program on Monday. So I will need proper intake of foods.

    I generally ate healthy, just needs that portion control help! Glad I am doing the diet and will let u know how day12 goes.

    @angie, johann than you for the words of wisdom. I so hear you about day 14 being a life style change and not a ‘indulge in the nasty foods’ kind of start!

    Good luck for the day guys!! Let’s have a cheat free day!

  349. by AngieNo Gravatar January 8th, 2012 1:29 pm

    @Tee. All the best for th new programme. Great start to the year.Siting at the park with my daughter, doing leg exercises like calf lifts etc using the bench- luckily only ones here so no funny stares. Still have not decided on what to have for supper, but making sure I get my exercise in beforehand. Bit slow on the water today@Johann, I know ham is difficult to get down.One good thing this diet did for me is get me to eat more fruit. I have now added grapes and my bananas to my usual apples and watermelon. Scale saying 5 down but still can’t really see it myself. Would give me great boost if someone had to pass a remark. !ack toork tomorrow, so hope that does not throw a spanner in the works. All the best for everyone.

  350. by TanyNo Gravatar January 9th, 2012 8:44 am

    Good Morning Everyone and Angie. I’ve been on the diet in November and lost 5kg – gained 3kg over December because I went crazy on sweets, cake, junkfood and alcohol.

    Today is my first day again starting weight 78kg and I’m gonna try and loose another 5kg this time. Im very motivated and going back to gym tonight.

    GOOD LUCK TO EVERYONE

    I hate the spinach …. any suggestions on how to make spinach more eatable

  352. by AngieNo Gravatar January 9th, 2012 12:15 pm

    Hi Tany – welcome back. I hate spinach as well and have done the following: Mixed my spinach with chopped up boiled egg added black pepper and salt and made it like a salad – was not that bad. Today is My Day 8 so this time around instead of boiling the eggs I mixed it with a bit of water and made an omelette putting the spinach inside. I have some extra on the side as well in case I am really hungry afterwards. I know its not sticking to the diet rules but boiled eggs are so dry.Eating my omelette now and not bad if I do say so myself. :)
    Need to jack up my water not even finished my first 500ml bottle, normally I am almost finished my 2l by now. :(

  353. by TanyNo Gravatar January 9th, 2012 12:35 pm

    Angie thanks for the reply. The omelette sound nice much better … And on now day 8 how much weight have you lost?

  354. by chimfNo Gravatar January 9th, 2012 3:56 pm

    amon nmy day 7 and God am starving! its 5pm and cant wait to have dinner! the diet is effective…lost 3kg by end of day 6

  355. by AngieNo Gravatar January 9th, 2012 4:00 pm

    I just got my first weightloss comment!!!! Whoop whoop.

    @ Tany – I have lost 5kg so far. Battled a bit with the water today, only have a 500ml bottle left, which I will have with supper. Just so happy so one noticed – silly I know, but keeps you motivated to stick to the diet. All I know is I am getting so sick of steak, carrots and ham. Going to go home now, cook my steak, drink my water, do my Zumba and some weight exercises and then write in my food journal. Now really motivated to do more than just following the eating plan. Haven’t Zumba’d since Thursday.

  356. by TanyaNo Gravatar January 10th, 2012 8:12 am

    Wow Angie that is great Well done. So in total you lost 10kg since November 2011 …. thats an achievement. I love this diet because it works every time. Yesterday was easy (except for the spinach). 12days to go.

  357. by ElmsNo Gravatar January 10th, 2012 10:07 am

    Heya, day two for me. So far so good. I must say this blog keeps me motivated, seeing how people have reached their goals. I have a Mantra every morning… only 12 more days, only 12 more days ;) Normally dont have a issue with water. Drink 4l on a normal day, battling with water today, only down 1l. Not feeling very hungry… that normal?

  358. by TeeNo Gravatar January 10th, 2012 11:11 am

    Hey everyone – hope you are all doing great with the diet :)
    Well Some feedback…. I lost 3.5kgs which may seem little but the way some clothes fit is awesome. I am also doing extreme training and am a little Lighter which is great for my running!

    Change metabolism? I don’t know, but I am not as hungry as I used to be… And eat a lot less and drink tons of water.
    So I hope you all have great results too…

  359. by TanyaNo Gravatar January 10th, 2012 11:51 am

    HI Elms I’m also on day 2 today….. welcome to the group.
    Had an awesome lunch with my steak and green salad – had an orange today (im tired of the apples i always have)
    @Tee well done ….. I think that if you do extreme training the muscle you build weights more than fat. In your case you much have lost plenty cm’s.
    @Angie tonight is ham again …. ham and water GOOD LUCK.
    From tomorrow is yummy food again

  360. by AngieNo Gravatar January 10th, 2012 12:13 pm

    Day 9 and just realised that I forgot my fruit at home. Only one litre down for now, but busy with the next 500ml and then the other can be for supper. Digging into my steak, lettuce and cucumber salad as I type. Damn can’ wait for spices. Tonight is Ham. yeah!!!! And stomach exercises I think.

    @Tany. Thanks very much. Remembered you from November – see we both don’t obey the 6 month rule. lol. Dont forget to deduct the weight I put on in November and December due to eating carbs. I keep thinking maybe if I just eat a little, but every little adds up – on my thighs. This time definetly going to attempt to stay away from carbs. Paid a lot of money to be told that my body can’t digest carbs but refuse to listen. New year , new outlook!

    @Elms welcome. The more water you drink the less hungry you will be. Most dieticians will tell you that when you body needs water, most of the time our brains interpret it as hungry.Only problem with drinking water is the constant trips to the loo.
    What I love most about this diet is I never crave sweet stuff.

  361. by zetNo Gravatar January 10th, 2012 5:51 pm

    Day 5 have lost 1.5 kg with a looot of cheating,I’m motivated it works have done a lot of gym before only to gain more weight.Hoping to behave in my second cycle.Good Luck peeps

  362. by SuzanneNo Gravatar January 10th, 2012 6:53 pm

    Hi Guys: am on Day 2,so far so good…i feel lighter,looking forward to the coming days and of course my new look:-) Good Luck Ya’ll

  363. by TanyaNo Gravatar January 10th, 2012 7:47 pm

    Today was soooo easy … Have no idea what I weigh as my scale is broken LOL. Its only been 2 days, I will be patient this time and buy a new scale on day 13.

    @Angie according to the New Metabolism Diet book I have The diet must be followed for 13days only no longer and no less. If you follow the diet strictly for the 13days you may not repeat it under any circumstances within the next 2 months … so I think we are both safe. One of my friends lost 45kg in 1 year on this diet.

    Good Luck to everybody … I feeling tired tonight so I going to bed !!!

  364. by TanyaNo Gravatar January 11th, 2012 6:06 am

    Good Morning everyone
    Today is day 3 for me and I can feel that I’ve lost some weight. Having my sasko wholewheat low gi bread and black coffee.
    I think I had to much water yesterday because I woke up twice last night for a trip to the loo. I’m tired today but I need my 8 hours a night …… and I Cant have a red bull Lol. Im not gonna give up!!
    Good luck !!!!

  365. by kagisoNo Gravatar January 11th, 2012 7:34 am

    Ok guys so i never managed to.get to day 3 of this diet or any.otherdiet for that matter. Last night i watched supersize vs superskinny, there was this woman who needed 6ppl to help her each day. Her tumy literally filled a double bed. Shr scared me, she’s dead now but left an impact in my life. Im doing this diet to kick start my weightloss. I realised there is nodiet ill e er stick to unless i want to. This one is easy for.me cos it comtains all food groups. Will most definately switch some veggies around bcos i have a lot of veggies in the house n i dont intend buying any other kind lestthese will rot. Anyway. i wont b weighing myself today and will only weigh myself after 7 days. I dont care much abt.the current numbers i want to be 80kg by the of feb n thats my goal. Last ye i.weighed 92. So here goes

  366. by AngieNo Gravatar January 11th, 2012 9:34 am

    Hi All.

    @@ Tanya – did not know that there was a book on this diet, interesting.
    @Kagiso – dont swoop the veggies around – you are setting yourself up for failure right from the start if you do that. Start with the Veggies then it will be the protien and next thing you know you are no longer on it. Rather wait a day or two until your current food is finished an then go and buy the listed foods – just my opnion.
    On Day 10 today – weight seems to have stalled :( So reducing my all you can eat. One thing I hate about this diet, all the weighloss is in the first week. Need to start planning what I am going to do come after the diet. Anybody got a Low Calorie/Low Carb eating plan?

  367. by JohannNo Gravatar January 11th, 2012 12:39 pm

    Hi you guys. Im busy with day 7 now….So far so good really, no cheating and im feeling good. Only gonna weigh tomorrow though, but i can feel my clothes feel looser. Even my sinus problems have dramatically improved, maybe because no milk?
    @Angie its really important that you have a plan for day 14 otherwise you might struggle. On day 14 im gonna start with Fit for life. my mom gave me the book and im already halfway with reading it. I think this 13 day diet is in many ways similiar because carbs and protein is very rarely combined and thats why it works so good. If you give your body less food groups to deal with the food gets better utilised and weight loss is better. So if you have fruit and just fruit for breakfast, carbs en veggies for lunch and protein and veggies for supper you must succeed.
    Another thing, i have a question/statement….dont you guys think its better to substitute the ham with pork leg chops? Ham is cured/smoked and lots of times have added junk similiar to polony. I would love you opinions on that, i think im gonna switch the ham for pork chops on day 9/10, then i have 2 extra days of braaiing!

    Good luck peoples

  368. by AngieNo Gravatar January 11th, 2012 3:21 pm

    I feel like Dr. Seuss with Green eggs and Ham. well at least the eggs weren’t green but they were hidden in between all the green salad stuff and the green beans. And Ham again tonight – Yeah :(
    @Johann – I see your point, but would be too scared to change anything just yet.

  369. by TanyaNo Gravatar January 11th, 2012 5:37 pm

    Hi All
    today was difficult … I just wanted to give up – the fruit salad and yoghurt for supper is just not going it for me …. I’m still hungry and crawing salt or vinegar … soooo Im having apple with salt
    @Angie I also noticed that all the weight loss is in the 1st week

  370. by AngieNo Gravatar January 12th, 2012 7:14 am

    I cheated last night! :( No excuses. Was feeling down and old habits die young. My kid left a marshmallow lying around and I kept staring at it. So after a half hour internal debate I said screw it, so starting sucking on it, next thing it was two and I was swallowing. Kicking myself now since I made it so close to the end and I had also chosen last night as a rest night – no exercise. But starting my Day 11 with the same weight. Going to drink more water to flush the system and will do double excercises tonight nul the affects. What bugs me most is that I turned down some yummy looking and smelling Italian choc cake, but yet marshmallows were my downfall. :) Only me – shakes head.

  371. by TanyaNo Gravatar January 12th, 2012 8:59 am

    Day 4 for me …. 3kg down whooo hoooo!!! only 9 days to go !!!

  372. by TUMINo Gravatar January 12th, 2012 11:52 am

    hi kagiso try and check this site http://www.gymjunkies.com/weight-loss diet/ rather than the 13 day plan, its easy to follow and you dont have to starve your self, u will see results and try a bit of exercing! hope it helps

  373. by KerryNo Gravatar January 12th, 2012 1:31 pm

    Hey guys!

    I am on Day 4 of the 13 day diet – and I must admit that I am really struggling. I don’t feel well and I really want a glass of wine when I get home! :)

    But having said that I am really uplifted by your stories and comments so I will be strong and stay true to the diet.

  374. by angieNo Gravatar January 12th, 2012 2:03 pm

    Day 11 is dragging!!!! Trying to cut down on my food today to make up for cheating last night, but now starving!! Supper time better come quickly – as least there is no cooking tonight. Filling up on water – even bringing the Boss each time I fill up my bottle as he also has to drink – cursing me with every glass lol.
    @Tumi, thanks for the website, will go have a look at it myself.

  375. by TanyaNo Gravatar January 12th, 2012 3:27 pm

    Day 4 done and dusted …… I’m having a green salad for dinner – the fruit salad is not doing it for me. Woke up last night soooo hungry and battled to go back to sleep because I went to bed hungry …. need a good night rest tonight. Had my breakfast @ 4 am LOL

  376. by angieNo Gravatar January 13th, 2012 7:35 am

    @Tanya – hi there. can you please check your book for me, I have always been a bit confused. Do I just finish up with Day 13 tomorrow, or should I continue with Day 14 and finish up the diet with the ” eat what you want” supper on Sunday. I know is called the 13 Day but seems weird to leave a day out. Thanks

  377. by TanyaNo Gravatar January 13th, 2012 8:24 am

    Hi Angie … The diet must be followed for 13 days only, no longer and no less. From the 14th day you can start eating normally again.

    Im so excited I’ve lost 4kg (day 5) and feeling great. I dont have time to go to the gym so Im just following the diet 100 %. …

    Angie thank you for always being on this blog and supporting everybody!!!

  378. by angieNo Gravatar January 13th, 2012 8:47 am

    @ Tanya – Well done on the 4kg. For now exercise its great!. And thanks for the thanks(lol) but believe me the blog gives me a hellava support too. Great to have a place to come to where everybody is going through the same thing. Guess since I have one and a half days left I need to go to the shops to buy some more ( and not on this list) veggies so that I can continue healthier from Sunday onwards. Don’t worry will be seeing me on the blog, need the support.

  379. by angieNo Gravatar January 13th, 2012 8:48 am

    P.S. carrots are going down very hard this morning!

  380. by JohannNo Gravatar January 13th, 2012 9:57 am

    im on day 9 now, feeling really good, looking forward to the end though, miss my “normal” veggies like brinjals, butternut, etc etc. Also getting fedup with steak. Carrots and lemon Angie, i know, yuck! Also not really a routine guy, i like to make my own choices when it comes to food choices etc. Sometimes the buddy craves fish more than steak you know, looking forward to replace my ham with pork chops tonight, also didnt want to deviate from the program but i really cant stomach ham. Good luck to you all, where do you live Angie?

  381. by angieNo Gravatar January 13th, 2012 11:23 am

    @Johann – Cape Town, and you?

  382. by TanyaNo Gravatar January 13th, 2012 4:00 pm

    Hi everybody .. Day 5 done and dusted. We are watching movies tonight wish I could have some popcorn LOL but NO I have to be strong.

  383. by CorliaYNo Gravatar January 15th, 2012 6:07 am

    Hello ALL

    I’ve started this diet today, i have a lot to lose, so i can’t wait to see the results.
    Does anyone know if i can do this diet and do a 21 Day Full fast shortly after one another, my 21 day full fast starts on the 10th of February in Thailand.
    I’m from South Africa, I think it’s great having the support of others on the diet.

    My starting Weight is 88.9KG

    Chat soon :-)

  384. by CorliaYNo Gravatar January 15th, 2012 6:29 am

    My height is 1.63, so it’s a lot to lose.

  385. by angieNo Gravatar January 16th, 2012 7:10 am

    So diet is done and dusted – well for another two months at least – lol. Went for a 3.8km walk on Saturday afternoon in the forest and was amazing. Today starts my new “normal eating” Having fruit for breakfast and ratatouile for lunch. Trying to keep away from the carbs. New year, new go at willpower. Welcome to all the newbies.

  386. by OwenNo Gravatar January 16th, 2012 8:20 am

    Good morning everyone, I have just read through all your blogs as I am starting on this diet today! I have been a bit confused as there are two diets, one with measurements when it comes to steak, ham etc – the one I received from a friend, as I see some of you have also received it, has no weigth measurements and also includes wholewheat bread. Which would be the most effective diet to follow? I do prefer working to measured weights otherwise I could go quite apeshit on the steak, ham etc. Any advise would be gratefully appreciated – as all encouragement is such a boost!

  387. by sweetieNo Gravatar January 16th, 2012 11:27 am

    hi guys, am gona start this diet soon,i dont drink coffee..can i hv green tea instead? and chicken breast instead of steak??plz help thnx

  388. by angieNo Gravatar January 16th, 2012 12:25 pm

    @Owen, not sure why there are two diets or which one is more correct. I followed the all u can eat one, going to do the other one next time.
    @ Tanya -Which one is in your book?

  389. by vuyoNo Gravatar January 16th, 2012 1:08 pm

    ohhh i started yesterday so far so good, but im not sure about the ham for dinner… will it really have a big impact if i have 2 sweetener pills instead of 1… that coffee is horrible with 1 canderel pill

  390. by misaNo Gravatar January 16th, 2012 1:48 pm

    I’m almost done with day 2, just dinner . .the Ham .. , i’ve also been drinking water like crazy, between 2 and 3 litres.
    What makes this site so nice is the fact that you can publish your progress and wheather or not someone comments, it’s nice to get it out.

    mwah to all of you and good luck

  396. by angieNo Gravatar January 17th, 2012 7:26 am

    So Day 2 after the Diet – LOL. I think we need a blog site for after the diet , to keep us on t he straight and narrow.
    @ Corlia – I did the same thing on my Day 2 – was tough to sit there and only drink water. Ordered myself the green salad and only ate the green stuff in there – peppers and lettuce. The things we do.

  397. by vuyoNo Gravatar January 17th, 2012 9:03 am

    @CorliaY – you are not alone, i am also on day 3.
    The ham went down very well last nite, i was so worried. I slept all night and i thought i was gonna wake up hungry but no…

    Day 3 so far so good. i dont have a scale so i will just see how the clothes fit as the days go by.

  398. by CorliaYNo Gravatar January 17th, 2012 12:10 pm

    @Angie :-)
    @Vuyo – Now we can do this together, i weighed myself when i started at 88.9KG and will only weigh myself again when i’m done, cause i need a BIG WOW on the scale, everyday demotivates me, I’ve done a lot of dieting in my life . .. .
    BUT I can feel this one working it’s magic on me already
    Yay
    xx

  399. by vuyoNo Gravatar January 17th, 2012 12:19 pm

    Wow great that you can feel the difference already CorliaY. Dont be demotivated please keep going. Every kilo counts.
    im not even thinking about the 9kilos they talk about even 5 will do, its a start to something great……enjoy your lunch

Cant wait to get some results. My starting weight is about 135lbs. Hoping to get to 125!

    Hey Hey

    Starting Day 5, must say first for me having raw carrot in the morning, with lemon juice . .
    I feel more energized during the day , looking forward to lunch
    Good luck Vuyo, how is your diet going?
    To the rest of you on the diet, stick with it . . it does make a difference.
    Me and my sister from Cape town both started and so far we’re both going strong, support helps.
    I’m also keeping a food diary , detailing my whole day from when i wake to when i go to sleep and that helps me a lot.

    Good Luck all
    :-)

  410. by angieNo Gravatar January 19th, 2012 7:50 am

    @Muks – I battled with constipation with this diet as well.
    @Debbie – sorry did not battle with the sleep though

  411. by vuyoNo Gravatar January 19th, 2012 8:09 am

    hi all,

    On to Day 5, still holding on but yesterday was tough… i had a big meeting so imagine i arranged all the nice food for lunch and had to eat carrots + cheese. Everyone was surprised at me. I cheated and had 1 meatball, but not drinking the juice was the worst for me. i had water of course.
    @Debbie i hope u r feeling / sleeping better. ohh the carrots for breakfast today – im speechless.

    gud luck all…

  412. by vuyoNo Gravatar January 19th, 2012 12:42 pm

    @Corlia Y – i hope your day has gone well.
    The carrot for breakfast really got me starving, lunchtime was like a lifetime away.
    “why am i doing this – today i need the mind games, to believe the kilos r dropping on that scale”

  413. by JohannNo Gravatar January 19th, 2012 1:27 pm

    Hi all i finished the diet successfully on Tuesday evening, pretty proud of myself for only cheating once (muffins on saturday evening). But started yesterday with the fit for life eating principles, so far so good really!
    @Angie – I also live in Cape Town, dont know why i asked really, you just seem very cool….

  414. by MukiNo Gravatar January 19th, 2012 7:48 pm

    Hello all,

    This diet is not good for you! What happens is you end up losing your muscle weight. This is bad because you need that muscle weight it is essential inorder to be lean. The worst part is you lose more muscle tissue as you get older. Hence it is important to treasure what you have to begin with and build upon it. You barely end up losing fat on this diet. The most import thing is to lose the FAT .

    This diet is intended for people who need surgery and have to lose weight( it doesnt matter what kind of weight) in a short amount of time.

    The only way to lose weight is to be dedicated, eat healthy ( oats( slow burning carbs that prevent you from getting hungry) salmon/any other kind of fish, lentils, beans, berries, avocado, nuts … ) AND WORKING OUT.

    There is no shortcut to looking and feeling your best.

  415. by MukiNo Gravatar January 19th, 2012 7:49 pm

    I AM OFFICIALLY OFF THIS DIET!

  416. by CorliaYNo Gravatar January 20th, 2012 5:07 am

    @Vuyo, yesterday was the worst for me as well, i was in the mood for everything, but luckily i stuck to it, i just told myself that i’m almost halfway and i’ll be very angry with myself if i quit now, hope yours is doing great as well, where you from?

  417. by CharnNo Gravatar January 20th, 2012 8:19 am

    Good Morning,

    I’m on my 6th day today, so far I lost 4kg, I’m hoping to lose 6 more, so that I can weigh 55kg. Good luck everyone. It really works if you are strict.

  418. by vuyoNo Gravatar January 20th, 2012 8:54 am

    @CorliaY – i am based in Pretoria. I think that is the motivation now, we count the days left and we know it can be done.
    Well done Charn… im sure you will reach your goal.

    @Muki – not to offend you my dear but everyone doing this diet knows the pros & cons we are not dumb and we are aware of the things you mention. I believe that doing this for 2wks and eating healthy/exercise for the rest of the year wont do damage, people have done worse.

  419. by PhelzNo Gravatar January 20th, 2012 10:06 am

    Muki is just bitter she/he could not carry through the diet until the end and trying to get all us to feel the same way. this diet works. Ive been working out and eating healthy but struggling to lose 6kilos. Im on day 6 today and though i havent weighed in a while my clothes are telling me ive lost and im happy AND FEEL GOOD.
    Good luck guys we almost there.

  420. by angieNo Gravatar January 20th, 2012 12:35 pm

    I see everyone has the same opnion regarding Muks, hahaha. I am doing well so far, lost another kg since been off( without exercising this week) Joined a walking group which walks a circuit in between a forest, absolutely wonderful and its about a 3.8 km walk. Great thing is I can take my kid along too and she gets fresh air as well.
    @Johann – whats Fit for Life? And thats for the compliement.
    @Tanya – where you go?

    I got on scale show slightly up ? Anyone else have this ? I have not cheated at all

    Gl fellow dieters

  427. by SELNo Gravatar January 22nd, 2012 1:57 pm

    Looking at this diet, it is mentioned that one can eat spinach, skinless chicken and steak but it doesn’t state how to prepare these. When grilling steak and chicken, do you add a little oil? Can we use spices?

  428. by dani700No Gravatar January 22nd, 2012 10:34 pm

    I am on my 5th day and have lost 2 lbs. I was hoping to have lost more as I also have been doing cardiovascular exercises for 30 minutes. Here’s a dumb question, if I exercise will I lose more? I don’t eat ham so have substituted it with steak. I hope this is okay. I cannot say I feel like I have lost weight, but we shall see at the end of the 12th day.

  429. by dani700No Gravatar January 22nd, 2012 10:35 pm

    @debbie. If you are slightly up, make sure you drink plenty of water. This is the key to the diet.

  430. by angieNo Gravatar January 23rd, 2012 9:56 am

    @SEL – I used Spray and Cook to make all my meals, then you don’t need to use oil. In future instead of using oil to brown onions etc you can use apple juice, or plain water.

  431. by ZakiyahNo Gravatar January 23rd, 2012 11:37 am

    Can anyone tell me what I can substitute HAM for as I am muslim ?????????????

  432. by vuyoNo Gravatar January 23rd, 2012 1:33 pm

    Day 9 – going well but im depressed thinking about the ham tonight.
    it has been tough over the weekend i must say, so hot i had juice, honestly cheating was not an issue i was thirsty – simple & honest.
    I have not weighed since i started and just feel like i dont see the difference, someone told me there is change…but mhhh do i believe.

    4 more days to go… i need faith now to continue til Friday.

    Hope its going good 4 u all

  433. by angieNo Gravatar January 23rd, 2012 3:03 pm

    FYI, read this weekend that it takes more calories to eat a boiled egg, than the egg actually provides – hence all the damn boiled eggs on this diet.

  434. by CharnNo Gravatar January 23rd, 2012 3:19 pm

    Good Day Fellow Dieters,

    Today is my 9th day and I have lost 6kgs so far, i’m so proud of myself that i’ve come so far…can’t wait for the end result.

    Zakiyah: you can substitute the ham for polony. I used the Rainbow chicken polony

  435. by BeaNo Gravatar January 23rd, 2012 3:33 pm

    Am thinking of starting this fab diet…stupid question tho’…on day 7; what’s meant with “sensible dinner”?

  436. by Lola pNo Gravatar January 23rd, 2012 8:53 pm

    I have been doing this diet every January for 13 days, I originally lost 13kg and in 4yrs have not gained it back, the reason I still do it every jan is to get rid of the 2 or 3 kg I usually pick up during the year. Thanks to this diet I have been able to control my weight for the first time in my life!

  437. by ZakiyahNo Gravatar January 23rd, 2012 9:06 pm

    Thanks Charn! Today was my first day and I found it really hard as I love food so much it hurts . But I am hanging in there. Good Luck Guys

  438. by CorliaYNo Gravatar January 24th, 2012 4:06 am

    @vuyo, i’m with you on that on the ham, never thought i’d say this, but ham has never tasted so blan, like it does on this diet . . . .. i added a bit of ketchup, which only made it worse . . . but hey, day 9 is done now,
    What did you have for your sensible dinner?

  439. by vuyoNo Gravatar January 24th, 2012 8:22 am

    @Corlia – i had veges and chicken for the Saturday dinner.
    Last night i could not handle that ham alone so i had it as a sandwich with 2 slices.

    Day 10 – i think im gonna quit…. the PMS is really not helping as well, i feel like a grumpy old ”cow”

    hehehe, @vuyo, you can’t quit now, we’re almost done, you gonna be so mad at yourself for quitting . . hang in there, i’m suffering with you . . .
    I’m having most my dishes as a soup, i add lots of water and herbs, at least it’s hot, tastes like something, i have not weighed again after the 7th day the morning, i might have picked up that ‘sensible dinner’ lol, but hey , if we finish this diet this time, future attempts will also be successful :-)

  443. by IlseNo Gravatar January 24th, 2012 12:09 pm

    Give ideas for the “sensible dinner” PLEASE..

  444. by vuyoNo Gravatar January 24th, 2012 2:35 pm

    @Corlia – i dont think i will continue, sorry dear im very discouraged by the fact that i still look the same, im scared to weigh and be dissappointed to see im 1 kilo down after 10 days, maybe its not for my body, i dont know. People see results just not me. I will still finish the eating plan though but make a few changes to it. Its more of healthy eating than dieting now.

    Will try it again though…maybe im doing something wrong now, will check and see…

  445. by CorliaYNo Gravatar January 24th, 2012 2:45 pm

  450. by SuzyNo Gravatar January 25th, 2012 1:17 pm

    hello all,
    i am on day 3, so far so good. i started this diet because it worked with everybody i know and tried. my mum does it every 2-3 years and each time loses 8-9kgs. and what even better she doesnt stick that strictly to the plan.She doesnt like steak, so she eats chicken breast instead. It still works! For me the first day was very difficult, not use to eat so little, so i had a horrible headache the first night! i am ok since though! fingers crossed!
    i wish everybody good luck!!!:)

    @Ilse: no, dont drink any whisky!!!that is very important to drink as much water as you can!

  451. by JohannNo Gravatar January 25th, 2012 2:28 pm

    @Angie Fit for life is a very old diet which is working well for me so far, to summarise it actually works like this….you have fruit and nothing but fruit during the morning till 12, then you dont combine protein and carbs for lunch and supper, i try to stick to a formula where i have my carbs in the afternoon and protein at night. They say you must also try that 70% of each meal is veggies/salad which can be eaten with any meal or with carbs or protein. The idea is that the high water content of fresh fruit/veg/salad washes out the system. Is the walk club you joined the one in the kenridge area?

  452. by BeaNo Gravatar January 25th, 2012 3:14 pm

    @ Ilse…I’m also still waiting for some guidance but I saw somebody said that they had chicken and veggies so I suppose it’s up to us to be “sensible”…Today is my first day, I must say I’m not struggling with the hunger but the headache is a motha!!!!!

  453. by angieNo Gravatar January 26th, 2012 7:16 am

    @Ilse – the diet says nothing extra, so no on the Whiskey. From what I have learnt alcohol is basically a carb, so right fromt the start you are ruining the diet.
    @Johann – we walk Tokai Forest Park. Facebook site – Walk it.

    huh huh well CorliaY…

    Happy for you.
    As for me, i stopped at Day 10 and i weighed yesterday and officially 1,2kg lost. i just could tell i was not seeing the difference. Im not angry at myself at all coz i followed the diet, just my body didn’t like it. i remain at 65kg….

  457. by DebbieNo Gravatar January 26th, 2012 1:46 pm

    Well done Corlia how did u do it ?

    I have been very strict no cheating yet seems only a 3,3 loss on day 10 drank over.2 l water a day ….

    Vuyo sorry u stopped know it can be very discouraging

    I due for my monthly wonder if that can affect weight ?

    Craving everything but I’m determined

  458. by vuyoNo Gravatar January 26th, 2012 1:54 pm

    that’s great Debbie, keep going you are almost there, maybe you will still lose more in the few days left…

  459. by CharnNo Gravatar January 27th, 2012 8:09 am

    Hi Guys,

    i’m on my last day. I just weighed myself and I lost 5kg. I initially lost 6kg, 5 days ago, but that’s when i got my monthy…in my opinion it does affect your weight loss, coz when you are sick your body retains water, so once my monthy is done, i will weigh again. I’m a bit disappointed, but I still have faith.

    P.S: Remember you should still lose weight 13 days after the diet. Hope it works!

  460. by CorliaYNo Gravatar January 27th, 2012 10:46 am

    @Debbie, I drank water like crazy, never cheated . . but ultimately , i had and still have a lot to loose, the more you have to loose , the quicker it works for you, the less, you’ve got to loose, the slower you shed the kilo’s.
    Good luck ALL
    @vuyo, thanks vuyo

  461. by DebbieNo Gravatar January 27th, 2012 11:52 am

    Thanx Corlia ..have 26,7 kg still to lose eish …but hey its a start let’s hope more is shed !

    Also believe mnthly and being sick affects ur weight

    Hi there,
    I’m on day 3 – have lost 1kg. Hoped for more, but I have thyroid problems, so any weight at this stage is good. The hunger thing seems better today, and the water helps. I think I’m on a different version than most of you…I don’t have a ‘free meal’ on day 7, only lamb and apple. Hope it works anyway. Wanted to ask, do you think its only water loss? Can 4 or 5kg loss, be water only?

    Good luck Angela, your 1st day will be my 4th :-)

  469. by antNo Gravatar January 31st, 2012 10:07 am

    well I’m on day 3 of the diet, starting weight 108kg. Will way myself tomorrow morning. I’m hoping to get down to 99kg will be so happy to be in the double digits. My baby is 5 months old and keeps me so busy, so don’t have time to think about hunger. Funny to read about a lot of the woman starting their menstruals, I haven’t had it since I became preggies as I am breastfeeding then on day 2 all os a sudden there was my aunty flo.

  470. by cNo Gravatar January 31st, 2012 10:56 am

    Good luck ant, we are on the same day, so let’s get to the last one together!! I started at 68.3, day 3 I’m at 67.3, but gonna try not to weigh again until day 7, but I need the encouragement of seeing the loss!

  471. by BeaNo Gravatar January 31st, 2012 4:15 pm

    I think I have started at a bad time of the month…”that time”…on day 7 now and only down by 1.3kg’s :-( …and I have stuck to this to the T!!!! I have definately lost a lot of cm’s but will weigh again on day 13…The hunger didn’t bother me at all but the headaches I couldn’t handle…

  472. by antNo Gravatar February 1st, 2012 7:19 am

    woohooo got on the scale I now weigh 105kg lost 3kg starting day 4 today had to eat yoghurt yesterday as i was feeling faint and dizzy. Today it’s carrots and cheese for lunch so i will make carrot salad with a bit of lemon juice on it and eat cheese seperate.

  473. by cNo Gravatar February 1st, 2012 7:22 am

  478. by AlidaNo Gravatar February 2nd, 2012 7:44 am

    Hi there,

    I have high blood pressure and I want to know if I can still take my High Blood Pressure Medicine while on this diet, since it says that you can only eat or drink and follow the menu as is else it won’t work. I’d like to be very dedicated about this diet to get the atmost result out of it.

  479. by antNo Gravatar February 2nd, 2012 9:13 am

    starting muya thai classes today so i didn’t have the carrots and lemon for breakfast i had two slices of whole wheat bread as i’m just scared i faint while doing the training. Can’t wait to climb on the scale again as i think i might have lost some more unwanted kilos. I’m aiming for double digits, starting weight was 108 yesterday when I weighed myself I was on 105 so I only have 6 more kilo’s to go.

  480. by RendaniNo Gravatar February 2nd, 2012 9:15 am

    I am on day one, just had my coffee, and to be honest am super hungry now_ i did not eat much yesterday and i think thats y am so hungry, but am going to keep strong. i really hope to get to my desired weight, i weigh 68kgs now and i would like to go back to my before baby weight of 55kgs. From what am reading here it seems ppl are loosing between 4-8 kgs_ which is a lot, so hopefully it will work for me too.

  481. by cNo Gravatar February 2nd, 2012 12:41 pm

    Rendani – the hunger thing passes – by day 3 you should not feel hungry anymore. My weight is the same as yours – GOOD LUCK, you’ll be fine!

    I’m on day 5 …no more weight loss this far, so I might stop tomorrow, maybe it’s just not working for me – maybe it’s my thyroid again…. I don’t know – no cheating, and I’ve done everything exactly as I should? Aw well……next!

  482. by ttNo Gravatar February 2nd, 2012 2:28 pm

  483. by MarlizeNo Gravatar February 2nd, 2012 2:44 pm

    C – Don’t stop now, I was also feeling like you, in my first 3 days lost 3.3kg, then stood still, but I still went on, today I am on day 11 and am on 4.7kg lighter, still have a long way to go, but I stood still for 3 years, no matter what I try, with the 13 betabolism diet I started loosing,

    Delilah – Thank you for a wonderfull website, do you perhaps have more information about the long term effect of the 13 day metabolism diet?

  484. by angieNo Gravatar February 2nd, 2012 3:22 pm

    @ C – don’t stop. Nearly all of the weightloss is in the first five days, but I have done this diet three times and the second time around I did it for a week – picked up the weight I lost and a little over the next month. Hence had to go back on it again this year. If nor more weightloss, at least look at it as another week that you are eating better and more healthier – good lead up to when you are off the diet.

  485. by ThobileNo Gravatar February 3rd, 2012 8:55 am

    im on day 5 having my carrot with lemon nice combo i must say weigh myself on day 3 lost 1.5 kg hopefully the weight loss pics ups coz after work i got to gym atleast 4-5 times a week i really miss my old body crossing fingers that soon ill be wearing my old clothes

I just wish I had time to go to the Gym! So busy but need to do something. Still feeling strong so I’ll persevere. Is it normal to feel thirsty all the time? My period seems to be continuing so I wonder if this is normal too?

    I haven’t seen any answers on taking vitamin tablets whilst on this diet? I really would love to start by Sunday & will give a day to day update. I find it so comforting being in a motivated space.

  497. by Blue topazNo Gravatar February 11th, 2012 9:36 am

    So I woke up thinking that I’ll do what I think is right & seeing that I’m aiming 4 7 days I’ll do vitamins with meals as I usually do. So coffee black no sugar as I usually do was easy enuf. So I figure seeing that I had it at 9, then lunch shud b in abt 4 1/2 to 5 hours as I do my normal eating plan …. 62.6kgs starting weight. I aim to weigh on completion which is friday night b4 my sensible meal lol … I was 69kgs in July and started a healthy eating plan. By October I landed on 61. Then became relaxed. Festive hit which was okay. I’ve maintained but I guess me having wine the last few weekends has put me up 1.6 which I think is my own fault. I’ve built a bridge. I’m hoping this diet will get me back on track as the top of my BMi is 57 which is what I’m aiming for. Whatever the results of this week I will decide the way forward. Till 2moro!!!!!!

    Day 6 and all is well, and have more energy. Looking forward to weigh myself in 8 days time, starting weight was 80kg I’m aiming for 70kg by the end of two weeks.

  500. by Blue topazNo Gravatar February 12th, 2012 1:09 pm

    Day 1 went well in the face of my not busy weekend turning hectic & having guests. Day 2, lunch, steak & salad here I come….not sure how I’m feeling. At least the week with its routine will not attract much attention.

  501. by Blue topazNo Gravatar February 13th, 2012 8:47 am

    Day 3, I’ve been reading abt this like I’m studying for examines. So many variations, it’s a bit disconcerting however when I look at them closely, they vary by a small scale. Anyways, I’m planning on having a desktop lunch cos the comments from the crew I sit with will b wicked. Well as I initially shared I will do it 4 7days so tomorrow marks halfway. I generally eat small portions so the eat as much as u like thing is tricky. I look 4ward to ham & salad tonite. Lol …

  502. by Blue topazNo Gravatar February 14th, 2012 6:36 am

    So where is every1. Feeling a little like an island but I shall persevere. Day 4. Once I get passed just boiled carrots 4 lunch, there is victory on the horizon …

  503. by TriciaNo Gravatar February 14th, 2012 11:08 am

    Hi Everyone,

    Today is day 3 (Valentines Day). My husband offered to take me out, I was tempted but I really want to test if this diet will work for me. I’m not going to give up, I had coffee with milk on day 2 but I refused to give up

  504. by angieNo Gravatar February 14th, 2012 1:05 pm

    Waiting very patiently for my two months to be up so I can go on this diet again.
    @Blue Topaz – enjoy the carrots for lunch. The carrots for breakfast suxs – just a warning. all the best for halfway.

  505. by Blue topazNo Gravatar February 14th, 2012 4:50 pm

    Thank u Angie (“,). I’ve bn telling myself 2 b strong … You are 1 of the people I looked 4ward 2 meeting. I’ve seen by previous comments that u do a lot of encouraging, nice stuff sweets. Which version of the diet do u do?

  506. by Blue topazNo Gravatar February 15th, 2012 6:57 am

    Day 5, Well I’m officially passed all the weird meals. Yesterday was the hardest. I enjoy carrots but it felt like an overdose. So when I was grilling my fish for today I grilled the carrot for breakfast so it wasn’t too back. I’ve made it far, esp cos no one at home knows. Im usually on a eating plan which they all know so wanting this little boost I know 4 sure hubby wud have not been happy. He wouldn’t thro his toys out the cot but the face wud have told me volumes. So they happy at the prospect of steak 2nyt. Whoop whoop. I’m feeling a bit lighter. 2 more days then I weigh & complete then continue on my balanced plan. The same plan that made me loose the initial weight but over 3 – 4 months.

  507. by angieNo Gravatar February 15th, 2012 7:21 am

    @ Topaz. I have been doing the unrestricted one, but want to do the weighing one next to see if it makes a difference. What balanced plan have you been on? Always interested to see what works for other people.

  508. by Blue topazNo Gravatar February 15th, 2012 8:59 am

    I went to sure slim, a bit pricy but no doubt rewarding. The plan is based on ur blood results. So they weigh u, take ur measurements and teach u “how to eat” … They encourage a fair portion of veg and meats … Ur food is weighed which prevents over eating so u literally eat ur self thin. The food is basic everyday food. They suggest spices, curry powders & such so u always eating palatable food, in good portions … So I know after Friday when I resume my lifestyle plan I’m well guided. There is a weight loss plan, the a holiday plan and a lifestyle plan where u can eat anything but within fair limits.

  509. by NtombiNo Gravatar February 15th, 2012 11:00 am

    Thanks for the motivation starting on day 1 today, headache is killing me

  510. by angieNo Gravatar February 15th, 2012 11:37 am

    @ Ntombi – Headaches go away after third day.

  511. by Blue topazNo Gravatar February 15th, 2012 7:14 pm

    Day 5 has come to a close. 2 more days then I c wit I’ve lost. Interesting times? I think if I ever have to do this diet again I’ll do all 14 days. It’s been an interesting space with food this week … @Angie, I’m convinced u in change management, way to go girlfriend @ Ntombi, it gets better hun, a whole lot better. It’s mind ova matter.

  512. by Blue topazNo Gravatar February 16th, 2012 6:01 am

    Day 6, toast & coffee shortly. Tryna think how I’m gonna do chicken only. Lol… As 4 dinner, it hilarious. Almost there so I’ll continue being good. Have a lovely day folks.

  513. by TriciaNo Gravatar February 16th, 2012 7:32 am

    Wow, today is day 5. I started by weighing myself first thing this morning. I lost 3.5kg (thats a big deal to me). Soooo excited, will weigh my self again after 5 days and post the results

  514. by mizetNo Gravatar February 16th, 2012 9:43 am

    hey ladies ! im also on day 4 and i have lost 3kg so far..its really wroking i can actually feel my stomach shrinking :) i just need to stay focused cos the weekend is around teh corner..*sigh*

  515. by Blue topazNo Gravatar February 16th, 2012 9:51 am

    Ladies, that sounds great. I’ve decided that I’ll weigh 2moro morning and not evening so u’ve given me a boost.

  516. by angieNo Gravatar February 16th, 2012 11:57 am

    Well done everyone.
    @ Blue – I am actually in the Accounting field – hahahaha. Just love giving support as I know it feels great to get some.

  517. by Blue topazNo Gravatar February 17th, 2012 7:32 am

    Day 7 is a breeze. Just look @ lunch & dinner so I consider my 7 days ova. A bit disappointing tho. I stuck to this diet so strictly & I’ve in total lost 1kg but that’s ok. Not everything is 4 every1 so I’ll return to my way of eating which I loose a kg a week 4 anyways. So on 61.6, it’s 4.6 to go which shud b achieved in the next 4 weeks so I’m not stressing. It was fun while it lasted. If I pull this stunt again I’m gonna do the one that was developed by the japs. Just look @ how tiny they are . Lol …. Ladies, don’t dismay, keep at it. @Angie the world needs more supporters like u doll. I’ll pop in from time to time to see how u ladies r doing. Keep it tight, keep it real! Mwah!

  518. by angieNo Gravatar February 17th, 2012 8:49 am

    @ Blue – hugs

  522. by MadreNo Gravatar February 19th, 2012 3:27 pm

    Hey gals and guys

    I am on day 8 and have lost almost 6kg`s already, i believe that you must not cheat once with this diet not even a splash of milk or sugar, i had my eggs and spinach for lunch the only meal i did not like eeeeeeuuuuuuu, but i drink lots of water with pieces of lemon that helps alot, COME ON PPL i know you can do it!!!! I fit into clothes that did not fit me a year ago and that is the best motivation ever.
    For my cheat meal i had a Nando`s wrap and lots of water so i feel good about that lol, only thing i am craving is a pizza he he
    Good luck to everyone doing this diet it really takes gutts

    Chat to you all soon my fellow Diet friends

  523. by GAYNORNo Gravatar February 20th, 2012 8:29 am

    Hi Madre

    Thanks for the motivation. This is day 2 for me and so far so good. I felt a little dizzy with my first day but feel much better today. I just have to do this so ya lets wait and see at the end of day 13.

    Have a splendid day.

  524. by RehemaNo Gravatar February 23rd, 2012 12:39 pm

    Did this in Nov 2008 after my second baby and lost 7kgs to 75kgs but xmas came n slowly the weight creeped back. Starting again tomorrow, now at 84kgs so hoping that its going to jump start the loss then back to the gym.

  525. by ANGIENo Gravatar February 24th, 2012 8:18 am

    Planning on doing the restricted version of this diet.Been converting the ounces to grams – mouth is hanging on the floor – the ounces sound like such a much bigger portion. No wonder ppl are loosing 8 – 11 kg on that one – not eating at all. But will carry on. Will try it for 7 days and then see how I am feeling and if I can carry on or if I need to do the unrestricted one for the following week. Just dont’ know what to do about the cup of tomatoes – I normally have a baby cherry one with the unrestricted one as I hate tomatoes. Wonder if a cup of tomato sauce will suffice – lol

  526. by Blue TopazNo Gravatar February 24th, 2012 9:14 am

    Hey Ang, pls post the diet you gonna do. So many versions :-( maybe I could give that one a try sometime …

  527. by GAYNORNo Gravatar February 24th, 2012 11:10 am

    Hey Blue Topaz

    The one you have on here is the one that I’m trying. This is my 6th day and lost 3kg already. I need to lose more so I will stick to this one.
    @Angie see the eating plan from Blue Topaz, no ounces on there that is how followed it.

    Regards
    Gaynie

  528. by RehemaNo Gravatar February 24th, 2012 12:50 pm

    having the spinach, eggs n tomato for supper n not lunch, read that its cool to do that. Cant imagine doing the eggs in the office will get everyone onto the fact that am doing the diet and dont want any negativity. Just loving reading everyones comments gives me the strength to go on. Day 1 nearly conquered.

  529. by RashikaNo Gravatar February 24th, 2012 1:38 pm

    Hi

    I am on day 5 of the diet and only lost 1kg , I am concerned.

  530. by GAYNORNo Gravatar February 24th, 2012 2:38 pm

    Rashika,

    I hope it will get better, don’t give up we are all trying to do this. It is tough for me because I love food and I am a social drinker. So I just have to do this for myself. Maybe you don’t have to loose a lot and that is why it is going so slow.
    Strongz girl.

    Regards
    Gaynor

  531. by StacyNo Gravatar February 24th, 2012 2:55 pm

    hi, I am doing this diet with Rashika and I am also on day 5, I feel exhausted but i have only also lost 1kg which is very disappointing…any advice?

  532. by RashikaNo Gravatar February 24th, 2012 2:56 pm

    Hi Gaynor

    Thanks for your response.

    this diet is very difficult , i also love my food.

    How far are you on this diet and have you lost any yet ?

    I need to lose 10kg and was hoping this was gona give me a boost.

    Still have 8 days to go and will keep strong

    Hi ladies, I also was on the diet, but 4 7 days and I too only lost 1kg hence I was interested in the version that Ang said she’d use. There r so many versions, it’s actually just insane. I saw one with eat as much as u like bread & all my alarms went off. I just see bread & it sticks 2 me buttocks

  536. by ANGIENo Gravatar February 27th, 2012 12:34 pm

    Hi Blue Topaz. I have done the unrestricted one where you eat bread in the morning and each time have lost 5kg, thats why I want to do the restricted one to see if I can loose more as have a crap load more to loose.With the unrestricted one I loose everything in the first five days, just do the other days to help keep it off. Starting on Sunday once all my plans are done and going to use the diet the blog starts off with.
    Will be interesting to compare them.

  539. by Blue TopazNo Gravatar February 27th, 2012 9:32 pm

    Mmmm ladies, these sound interesting I was wondering what Ntombi was talking abt when she said celery yuk …. As for eggs, now that’s a pity. I personally don’t have any idea however in my own crazy world, Id google to find out the nutritional value of eggs & find sum thing that matches up. Don’t quote me, I’d do something like that lol

    cant figure the eggs thing, n u arent the first person with that problem, as blue says just google. The diet that allows limitless bread is a definete no no, so muh carbs so will really limit the weight loss, if going for the most weight loss avoid this.

  542. by ANGIENo Gravatar February 28th, 2012 10:00 am

    @ Rehema – I am insulin resitant and supposed to stay away from carbs. Alhough it says unlimited bread, lets face it anything over two slices is just greedy. I ate two slices of bread on those days and still lost weight. The unlimited part is just for your mind – so you know you can eat more,but logic says don’t.

  543. by GAYNORNo Gravatar February 28th, 2012 11:10 am

    Hi Rashika

    This is day 10 for me and lost 4.6kg’s in the process. Please be strong and keep eating what you need to eat.
    @Angie I also have bread on the bread days…..one with a cup of coffee at 7:00 and then one with a cup of coffee at 10:00 and whole wheat it must be.

  544. by RehemaNo Gravatar February 28th, 2012 1:04 pm

  546. by StellahNo Gravatar February 28th, 2012 2:08 pm

    Hi, All,

    I have been reading all the comments and i must say that am inspired to go on with my diet.
    Am on day two but mine is abit different from all the above. Some of my friends have tried it and they lost 15 -17kgs, i will give you feedback on the 14th day because i promised my self that i will not weigh until the 14th day

    THE HOSPITAL’S METABOLISTIC DIET – THIRTEEN DAYS PLAN

    Day 1 Morning: One cup of black coffee and one lamp of sugar
    Lunch: Two hard-boiled eggs, spinach boiled in water, and one tomato.
    Dinner: One LARGE STEAK, green salad with lemon and oil dressing.

    Day 2 Morning: One cup of black coffee and one lamp of sugar
    Lunch: One slice of ham 200 ml of plain yogurt.
    Dinner: One LARGE STEAK, green salad with lemon and oil dressing, one fruit

    Day 3 Morning: One cup of black coffee, one lamp of sugar, and one piece of dry toast.
    Lunch: Two hard-boiled eggs, one piece of ham, and green salad with lemon & oil dressing.
    Dinner: Boiled Celery, one tomato, one fruit.

    Day 4 Morning: One cup of black coffee, one lamp of sugar, one piece of dry toast.
    Lunch: One can of fruit juice, 200 ml plain yoghurt.
    Dinner: One hard boiled egg, one raw shredded carrot, 200 ml cottage cheese.

    Day 5 Morning: One big raw shredded carrot, with lemon juice
    Lunch: One large piece of boiled red snapper (fish) with lemon and a little butter
    Dinner: One LARGE STEAK, green salad with celery.

    Day 6 Morning: One cup of black coffee and one lamp of sugar, one piece of dry toast.
    Lunch: Two hard-boiled eggs and one raw shredded carrot.
    Dinner: One piece of chicken breast, green salad with lemon and oil dressing.

    Day 7 Morning: One cup of black tea (no sugar)
    Lunch: NOTHING!!!!
    Dinner: One grilled lamb chop and fresh fruit.

    Days 8 – 13 REPEAT Day 1 to Day 6, WHICH MAKES THIRTEEN DAYS

    IMPORTANT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    Remember to drink at least 2 liters of water everyday.
    You are not allowed to substitute the coffee with tea and sugar has to be used as prescribed.
    The diet should be followed for 13 days no more no less

    About the metabolistic diet.
    The diet lasts 13 days and therefore is hard but efficient.
    The diet’s main objective is to alter your metabolism so that after day 13 you will be able to eat normally WITHOUT GAINING WEIGHT AGAIN.
    This is not a traditional diet where you starve your body, but a diet which increases your metabolism and the effect will last for at least a year on. If you follow this diet TO THE LETTER you will lose all your excess body weight up to 30 pounds. The diet must be followed for 13 days no more no less. But as already mentioned, the diet must be followed to the letter.
    If you drink a glass of wine or candy or chew gum during the diet or get tempted to eat extra food etc., BREAK THE DIET IMMEDIATELY, as the diet will have lost effect. If you get through all the thirteen days, the diet may be repeated after one year. If you have only managed up to six days, you may try again after 3 months. If you get hungry during the diet, drink plain water.
    WISH YOU ALL THE BEST

    As anyone ever used this one so that she can share with me!!!!!!

  547. by TshepisoNo Gravatar February 28th, 2012 2:52 pm

    Hie People.

    I am on day 2,and so far so good. My husband did the diet a couple of years ago and lost a hell lot of weight. I started with him but didnt make it past lunch coz of my low blood pressure, it dropped way too low from eating nothing in the morning. But as I said I am on day 2 today, this time I took 5 days off from work so that I dont use too much energy and I can sleep whenever I am feeling perkish. I’ll go back to work on my 8th day but I will be used to the diet so it wont be bad. I am feeling great and have lost 1 kg. I want to loose 5kg.

    Goodluck to those who want to start.

  548. by lindyNo Gravatar February 29th, 2012 10:10 am

    Tshepiso that great I am also on the 3rd of the diet with my collegue and its a bit challenging but we are loving it we cant wait for the next day, so far ive lost 1.4 kilos and my collegue she waiting for day 7 to weigh herself. i hope to lose atleast 6 kilos. but we are loving it we have so much energy. Tshepiso keep us posted on ure progress as well.

  549. by NosoNo Gravatar February 29th, 2012 10:36 am

    Hi Tshepiso and Lindy

    I’m also on day 3 and so far so good, last night i went to bed stlill hungry, but this morning i’m not so hungry. i’m actually enjoying this diet, looking forward to lunch :)
    oh, i only had 1 slice of bread this morning with my yucky black coffee :(

    this coming weekend is gonna be a challenge though, BF asked me not to make any plans, he wants us to spend some time 2gether. but i know i’ll make it through

    keep me posted also guys, lets do this together.

  550. by TshepisoNo Gravatar February 29th, 2012 10:38 am

    Hie Lindy

    Its day 3 and I am feeling great, atleast today I got to eat toast. Was excited when I woke up looking forward to eating the toast after 2 mornings of nothing but coffee. I will weigh myself on day 5.

    I feel energetic and very light. I feel renew. I guess my body is loving the diet.

  551. by TshepisoNo Gravatar February 29th, 2012 12:34 pm

    I just had my lunch. The eggs and ham not bad problem was lemon in lettuce, yuck. I wanted to make salad but the taste of lemon and the salty stuff wasnt that great. I hate eggs but I just have to sto HATING just for this couple of days. I am also lactose intolerant but that aint nothing compared to be overweight. I want my size 34/36 clothes to fit me perfectly so I will surfer just for this 13 days. Its not like its a lifetime thing. Hahaha hahaa haaaa.

    Let the struggle continue………………………!

    Hi Stellah

    I’ve seen that one a few days after I started with the no restriction one. I will definately try this one on a later stage. I am on day 11 and will weigh in on Saturday morning. Yesterday on day 10 I was 4.6 down. I hope to get another 2.6 down from today to Saturday…

    So all the meat bought, weighed and put into Defreeze ready to start on Sunday. Its weird looking at a weight on a page and looking at it in real life. Just to buy my veggies on Saturday. Well wishes for everyone on the diet and will check in on Monday ( Day 2) to let everyone know how its going.

  558. by TshepisoNo Gravatar March 1st, 2012 5:12 pm

    Hie guys

    Can somebody suggest good meal times. E.g what time should I have my breakfast, lunch and dinner. Sometimes I think I eat too early.

    Can someone also advice if its wrong to spread your meals e.g have the youghurt at 1p.m then the fruit juice at 2p.m

    @Angie, u r a woman on a mission, u tempt me to wanna do this again but I’ll restrain myself.
    @Tshepiso, I had the same question abt eating times so I just decided on 4 1/2 to 5 hrs depending on my hunger as I use to feel very bloated & full by dinner so I tried to eat by 6 already so that by the time I slept I was at a reasonable comfort level.
    Am proud of all of you. It’s amazing how our confident levels shoot up after loosing even just 1kg. Happy shedding!

  560. by Blue TopazNo Gravatar March 2nd, 2012 8:01 am

    A tip for after the diet that I’m finding interesting, I’ve started cooking with coconut oil. Whatever I put in the oven I use the non stick spray so now I’ve moved over to abt 2 spoons of coconut oil, after steaming / microwaving veggies I braise it in abt a spoon of coconut oil. It enhances flavor & has contributed to weight loss without trying too hard.

  561. by GAYNORNo Gravatar March 2nd, 2012 9:54 am

    Hi Tshepiso

    My time is as follows:

    I do have two slices of bread for the day even though some of it ask for 1 slice…

    7:00 coffee with wholewheat bread (only bread days)
    10:00 coffee with wholewheat bread (only bread days)
    13:00 Lunch
    17:00 Dinner
    Beverages inbetween like black coffee and water…

  562. by NosoNo Gravatar March 2nd, 2012 10:07 am

    Day 5 and still going strong #nomorehunger#
    lol, I still havent weighed myself yet but i can already see the difference, my clothes are fitting much better already and i’m feeling great :)
    i’ve always been the person who does not worry about how much i weigh, but how big i look.
    so i’m cool with weighing myself after 13 days.

  563. by RehemaNo Gravatar March 2nd, 2012 11:47 am

    Noso, thats fab, am on day 8 and in trousers that i last wore a year ago. I love today coz am allowed to eat so much but cant manage all of it. im just loving this.

  564. by TshepisoNo Gravatar March 2nd, 2012 11:58 am

    Hie

    Thanks guys for replying me.

    I weighed myself this morning of day 5. My weight hasnt changed but my clothes fit, my stomach is flatter and my waist is smaller. I also noticed that I got my periods today which is a ssurprise for me coz since I started using the norplant contraceptive a couple of months ago I havent had any periods. Well I am not worried whether they are here or not, I am continuing to the end. I guess its part of detoxification as well.

    pSSSSSSS GALS……. I look nicer in panties with a flatter stomach and smaller waist. My husband couldnt stop licking his lips in the morning. Unfortunately I am on my periods.

  565. by RehemaNo Gravatar March 2nd, 2012 12:00 pm

    naughty Tshepiso, heheheheheheh! keep it up gal!

    That’s the spirit, u go girl!

  567. by NosoNo Gravatar March 2nd, 2012 3:12 pm

    Well done tshepiso
    till monday Ladies
    Have yourselfed a super – fat free sugarfree carbs free health eating weekend lol

  568. by YanieNo Gravatar March 3rd, 2012 7:21 pm

    Hi everyone,I have started yesterday, day one was hard but enjoyed two. Currently weigh 72kg and would like to loose 10kg…x

  569. by AngieNo Gravatar March 4th, 2012 7:49 am

    @Tshepiso, – I menstrate everytimr I do this diet – without fail- even though on injection. Day one for me today. Realising now that might not have been a good idea to start diet aftera night out dancing. Came home at one. Very tired now but all good.

  570. by TshepisoNo Gravatar March 4th, 2012 11:51 am

    Hie

    I am on day 7, my weight still the same. Started with 74 and lost a kg the 1st two days and that was it. I think its because of water retention due to menses. The good thing is that I am lighter and feeling healthier otherwise I was going to be discouraged. I just wanted to loose atleast 5kg just for my BMI to be right.

    This is the hardest day I tell you, the other days are much better once you get used to the diet. My family tried to tempt me by eating my favorite meals around me, but they failed and I still failing to tempt me.

  571. by ZeezuNo Gravatar March 4th, 2012 1:53 pm

    Hi, can anyone confirm if this diet is the same as the 13 day diet mentioned above as I read that some of you have the coffee and bread twice a day?

  572. by AngieNo Gravatar March 4th, 2012 2:55 pm

    @Zeezu- on the unlimited version u have coffee and unlimited w\w bread for breakfast. One lady here chose to split hers up between 8 and 10 in the morning. There are at least Two different versions – restricted weight and unlimited weights for this diet

  573. by YanieNo Gravatar March 4th, 2012 5:47 pm

    Hi Zeezu, I am doing the one that has unlimited w/w bread and coffee some mornings and I am day 3, like Angie say there seem to be slight difference between them but I heard the work the same. Cant wait to weigh my self on day 5….x

  574. by AngieNo Gravatar March 4th, 2012 6:21 pm

    Day one practically in the bag. As I ate my supper, I remembered just how much I don’t like celery. And I have it for lunch tomorrow as well.Drank 4 litres of water today and two black coffees. Never been so thirsty before and can’t blame it on the heat as raining today.

  575. by GeorgieNo Gravatar March 5th, 2012 1:53 am

    Anyone found a substitue for eggs in this diet? My wife can’t eat egg? Anyone?

  576. by LindyNo Gravatar March 5th, 2012 6:57 am

    Yanie Im doing the same one as you, and Im on day 8, Im telling you my pants are already loose hopefully by the end of the week i will loose 8 kilos in total good luck, Tshepiso how far are you now are u still holding on? Georgie from what are hear about this diet no product must be substituted for it to fully work and give that magnetic field to prevent one from gaining weight within a period of three years, maybe you must try dieticians maybe they could help, big ups to everyone who are on this diet becoz its definately not easy, but we can do it.

  577. by YanieNo Gravatar March 5th, 2012 11:03 am

    Hey Lindy, day 8 well done you… I have been using turkey ham instead of pork, however it doesnt say pork ham, just ham..do u think i have messed up? Also are you feeling any tired want to go to the gym in the afternoon but I am scared I might burn more calories, loose energy and get sick… I have actually found the last 3 days alright didnt get much hungry only cravings and hope it stays this way… Good luck everybody your positive comment are really motivating..xx

  578. by LindyNo Gravatar March 5th, 2012 11:18 am

    Yanie
    I dont think it really matters what ham it is, coz it really doesnt say, as long as its ham, ure still on the right track, Day 3 was the worst for me, but after that it was just normal, but i ay constantly get headaches especially on day 7, but i just drank a lot of water, I also want to start gym today but im afraid what if i get too tired and too hungry? I will just walk and jog around my neighbourhood this evening first and see how am i going to feel. Have a great day strong

  579. by StellahNo Gravatar March 5th, 2012 11:23 am

    Hi all, am on day 8 and i was tempted to weigh again and am overwhelmed with the results, on the forth day, i had lost 3kgs, yesterday during lunch time, i weighed and i had lost more1kg but amazingly when i weighed this morning, i had lost more 6kgs, i cannot believe it.

    I just feel like going on with the diet for a month to achieve my size.

  580. by StellahNo Gravatar March 5th, 2012 11:25 am

    I forgot to tell you that i have lost 10kgs in 8days

  581. by LindyNo Gravatar March 5th, 2012 1:15 pm

    OMG Stella thats awesome!!! Im jealous thats wonderfull, what was your starting weight?

  582. by AngieNo Gravatar March 5th, 2012 1:27 pm

    Day 2 on restricted diet going very slowly. Battling to get my celery and lettuce salad down. Been at my desk for almost two hours now. Want to finish it cause afraid I might be starving tonight after the ham. Luckily – knock on wood- no headaches so far. Forgot my water biscuit at home this morning but really how much difference can one biscuit make? Three litres down so far. Still so thirsty.

  583. by VhuyeNo Gravatar March 5th, 2012 2:39 pm

    ‘m really inspired by all your stories.i had my second baby last year in march and ever since then ‘v e been gaining weight.i’v been looking for a safe and effective way to do it and i think this blog is the one.
    @ stella congratulations.i do have a question though.will the hospital diet help keep the weight off for at least a year just like the metabolism diet.

  584. by NosoNo Gravatar March 5th, 2012 2:42 pm

    Day 8 and feeling constipated. still have not weighed myself but i like what i see when i’m looking at the mirror :)

  585. by YanieNo Gravatar March 5th, 2012 3:22 pm

    Wooow Stella welldone, thanks Lindy…:).. my lunch today was cooked or raw carrots and cheese as much as you like…cooked my carrotts and put them in an oven tray added loads of cheese and put in the oven to melt not too bad at all…very tempted to weigh my self on the WII..LOOL

  586. by TshepisoNo Gravatar March 5th, 2012 4:25 pm

    Hie Lindy

    I am feeling greeeeeeeeeat. Went to work today after a week off and guess what…..everybody was telling me I look hot. I wore my tight skirt that I havent worn in ages and a tight top, my, my, my, compliments were flying all over. I am on day 8 now. I look like like an 18 year old.

    I am finishing this diet come what may! I didnt spinach today though hope it doesnt mess up.

  587. by AngieNo Gravatar March 5th, 2012 6:24 pm

    Feeling very down tonight. Couldn’t start me car on way home from clinet. Twi hours later discovered that a fuse blew- we think my radio that I paid R1000 for lasy week caused a short circuit. Got home had my little bit of ham and cooked my lunch and supper for tomorrow. Thought to weigh myself( to cheer myself up) and typically my scale is on the blink- just flashing numbers at me. Hopefully tomorrow goes better. Going to hard day though as green beans and tomatoes are not really on my favourites list. Made a soup from the tomatoes and green beans with herbs and worcestershire sauce. For supper adding my chopped up ham.

  588. by SafiyyaNo Gravatar March 5th, 2012 8:38 pm

    I went on this diest last year and it worked like a charm. I went back to eating normally after and I haven’t gained since this diet. As a Muslim I had to make a slight change to the diet. I substituted ham for smoked chicken. I also skipped the coffees in the morning as I’m not a fan of coffee. I grlled my steak and chicken with spices and it wasnt so bad. There was a day when I felt a little faint but after drinking cold water I felt much better. During all the other days of the diet I had alot of energy which was incredible. I did the diet for 14 days not 13. Good luck to those who are trying. If you cheat they dont recommend trying the diet for another 6 months. That was a motivation for me to NOT cheat.

  589. by Blue TopazNo Gravatar March 6th, 2012 8:15 am

    Ladies, u r all incredible. @ Angie, chin up chick, u r the strong one. I hope today is a better 1 4 u. Awesomeness!

  590. by LindyNo Gravatar March 6th, 2012 9:43 am

    Wow tshepiso that fantastic knock them dead with dat skirt girl!!!! I m on day 9 Hunger pangs thind of the past cant wait to do this diet again in six months.

  591. by angieNo Gravatar March 6th, 2012 9:55 am

    So my car would not start again this morning. At least I can say I have not comfort eatened yet! If there was ever a time it would be now. Remembered my water cracker this morning – whoop and made myself a “soup” from my cup of tomatoes and green beens. Not sure how its going to taste as obviously could not taste it last night. Was very surpirsed that the ham filled me, was expecting to wake up with stomach pains from hunger. Scale till wonky, maybe a good thing, will wait until Day 7 seven and hopefully it will work then. Hopefully big surpise on the scale awaits

  592. by GAYNORNo Gravatar March 6th, 2012 12:32 pm

    Hi Stellah

    That is wonderful news congrats and keep on eating healthy. By day 13 I only lost 4.6 but I’m happy with it….I will wait a few months and try again. I started to eat as healthy as possible to see if I can lose another few kg’s.

    Keep well…

  593. by LindyNo Gravatar March 6th, 2012 1:08 pm

    wow Gaynor thats great!!!! congrats , Im on day 9 when i finish i will start again in about 3 months, but im also going to be doing the restricted one.

  594. by StellahNo Gravatar March 6th, 2012 2:49 pm

    Hi ALL,
    Its day 9, feeling great coz everyone is giving me compliments that i have lost weight in a week!!!!

    Lindy, my start weight was 114kgs, too fat, dnt you think, i guess i should re do the diet after a month but am not sure whether its recommended.

    @Gaynor, i guess i had too much fat to loose thats why i lost that much.

    @Vhuye, the hospital metabolistic diet will keep you free from gaining weight for the next 1yr and you re do it after a yr.

    I cant wait to weigh again on Saturday evening. Am feeling sweet coz most of my suits are now fitting very well, its like magic but am inspired to loose more after the diet, shd i wait for a few months before going for this diet or i do it immediately beginning of next month, or is there anyother way i can shed off too much fat in 2 weeks apart from the diets?

  595. by TangiNo Gravatar March 6th, 2012 3:10 pm

    Is it advisable to do this diet whilst exercising? I’ve just recently started a 5km in 5 weeks challenge?

  596. by YanieNo Gravatar March 6th, 2012 3:13 pm

    Hey guys hope all of you are doing well. Just had my day 5 lunch grilled fish and raw tomatoes..i really enjoyed the fish made sure i grilled a whole medium one just for myself. GL to all of us

  597. by angieNo Gravatar March 6th, 2012 3:28 pm

    Finally got to sit down with my soup at 3:30pm. Had my boiled eggs on the run at twelve. Actually very nice – just put a bit too much cayenne pepper in. made soup for tonight as well and added my chopped ham to it. I can do tomatoes and greenbeans like this! :)

  598. by VhuyeNo Gravatar March 6th, 2012 5:42 pm

    hi all
    stella thanx for the feedback.my friend and i want to start on the diet on sunday.this really is a great forum.

  599. by LindyNo Gravatar March 7th, 2012 7:29 am

    Hey Guys

    Day 10 for me, honestly cant wait to finish this diet 4 more days to go.

    Stella, You can only do the diet again in 3 or 6 months, meanwhile why dont you try weighless,start by buying the weighless magazine at the pick n pays supermarkets, and read testimonies Im sure that will inspire you and then you can join after, Im also going to join month end I have about 20 kilos to loose we are in a same boat girl.

    Good luck to all of you !!!!!!

  600. by angieNo Gravatar March 7th, 2012 8:18 am

    Morning. Day 4 started with its one cracker. I wait until I get to work to have my black coffee. Feel like I am getting sick. My throat is all thick and getting sore.

  601. by TshepisoNo Gravatar March 7th, 2012 8:57 am

    Hie all

    I am on day 10. Food is no longer an issue to me. Actually when I see people eat, I feel pity for them, unhealthy eating. Those who are brave enough to continue dieting can try the Kellog’s K diet f0r 3 weeks. It works as well.

  602. by angieNo Gravatar March 8th, 2012 9:09 am

    Day 5. Carrot with water biscuit was a nice change for breakfast this morning. Diet with its restricted food is not an issue anymore,but definelty sick now. Not sure what to do regarding medication as Doc will probably give me throat lozenges to suck on and tablets to take. Weighed myself this morning and lost 3kg. Was expecting more as normally by this stage on the unrestricted diet I have lost almost 5kg. Will perserve until Day 7 and then decide to continue or not, also depends on how healthy I am at that stage.
    P.S. Car is still at auto electrician so not helping my happy mood.

  603. by LindyNo Gravatar March 8th, 2012 2:45 pm

    Hi Guys

    11th day for me and to tell you da truth I am fed up of this diet I miss real food, and I still have 3 more days to go this sucks.

  604. by NosoNo Gravatar March 8th, 2012 3:09 pm

    Day 11 for me too

    Lindy i cant say the same, honestly. If it were up to me i would do this untlill i reach my goal weight

  605. by TshepisoNo Gravatar March 8th, 2012 4:22 pm

    Hie guys

    Day 11 and I am feeling sick from having yoghurt at lunch and cottage cheese for Dinner. I am lactose intolerant. Well I will hang in there, just 2 more days to go. I don’t miss food at all, I am used to the healthier food.

  606. by YanieNo Gravatar March 8th, 2012 4:50 pm

    Not long nw Lindy hand in there, Tshepiso I wish i was at day 11, i am only at 7. I hve weighed myself this morning and have lost 3.5 kg…I hope i lose more by next week…:) GL url

  607. by YanieNo Gravatar March 8th, 2012 4:50 pm

    *hang even..lol

  608. by Debbie Leigh WilliamsNo Gravatar March 8th, 2012 7:23 pm

    Hi all,
    I am on day 11 of the 14 day diet. On the 7th day I was supposed to eat a sensible dinner but had a very fatty pudding….the scale is showing only 2.2 kgs down, but I have lost many centimetres. I have been feeling great…but now starting to get tired. I will see it thru to Sunday. I haven’t used ketchup or any dressings at all. The steak is a bit much…and the eggs considering they take so long to digest and, I have been constipated too…otherwise, have a lot of energy! 9 kgs seems a long way off for me…Love the 4th day where I can eat as much yoghurt as I want and fruit!!

  609. by TshepisoNo Gravatar March 9th, 2012 7:08 am

    Hie guys

    I am on day 12, finishing the diet tomorrow evening. I had a horrible night, was sick from the yoghurt and cheese. I am much better this morning though. I am kind sad that I have to finish the diet. I was used to eating healthy. Guess I will continue eating healthier meals. I have lost around 4 kgs but a lot of belly fat and cm’s. My stomach is completely flat, its like I never had a child but I have two. I hope to stay this way, I LOVE the new me.

  610. by angieNo Gravatar March 9th, 2012 10:21 am

    Hi there. I have had to pull out, so no Day 6 for me. Went to doctor last night and have a pharmacy of tablets and syrups to take. Lost three kgs while one. Funny thing is by now would have lost more if on unretstricted diet. Go figure.
    All the best to those still on the diet, have a good weekend.

  611. by TshepisoNo Gravatar March 9th, 2012 11:19 am

    Hie

    I just had my fish, still sick from the cheese so have nausea. Just have to lie down a bit. My stomach can only take small portions of food maybe thats why I am also feeling sick,the fish was big. I am going to eat a very small piece of steak tonight.

  612. by NosoNo Gravatar March 9th, 2012 11:48 am

    hey Angie, which one is the Unristricted?

    @tshepiso, just hang in there….just 1 more day to go.
    Day 12 and i’m still ok, this week was slow for me though, but still happy with the end result.

  613. by angieNo Gravatar March 9th, 2012 1:59 pm

    Unrestricted one is where you have bread most morning instead of the one water biscuit.

  614. by jeniNo Gravatar March 9th, 2012 4:04 pm

    Hi all, have read so many motivating stories of success…well done. I saw many suffered headaches but no mention of taking anything for them. On this diet should you continue your daily amego and vitamines or stop everything for the duration of the diet?
    Starting the diet on Monday.
    thanx

  615. by TshepisoNo Gravatar March 9th, 2012 4:22 pm

    Hie Jeni

    I did not take anything with the diet. I just wanted my body to detox and heal whatever ailment such as headaches on its own naturally. Water helped quiet a lot. I didnt want to overwhelm my body with anything extra to process.

    Hope this helps.

    Goodluck

  616. by jeniNo Gravatar March 10th, 2012 2:09 pm

    Hi Tshepiso

    Thanx so much for that. Am looking forward to the Monday kick off.

    chat soon

  617. by TshepisoNo Gravatar March 10th, 2012 3:38 pm

    Dear All

    My journey has come to an end. I will like to encourage all those who are in and are about to start the diet to work hard and finish the diet. The benefits are great and worthy. I have lost 6kg in total. More than I had bargained for with an extra 1 kg.

    I am very happy with my body size and general health. I have inspired a few others to try their luck.

    Good luck to you all and thanks for the support.

  618. by YanieNo Gravatar March 11th, 2012 3:19 pm

    Hi all, I had butter with my bread this morning couldnt stand the dryness..hope I hvent messed up too much..has anyone cheated…or should I just stop…its day 10…:(

  623. by CarolNo Gravatar March 12th, 2012 1:05 pm

    I must admit, this spinach-tomato combination is quite challenging. Trying my best to eat all but it is an uphill task!

  624. by jeniNo Gravatar March 12th, 2012 3:34 pm

    Hi all, on the 14 day diet I am doing I am sure there is a typo…..it says “now you can eat anything you like” for the 7th and 14th day??? Any thoughts?

  625. by NosoNo Gravatar March 12th, 2012 3:49 pm

    Well done David.
    Congrats to everyone who finished. I lost a total 6.5 KG’s in 13 days and i feel and look fantastic. I am starting the Special K diet tomorrow :)

  626. by CarolNo Gravatar March 13th, 2012 6:29 am

    Day 2 – Yesterday was my daughter’s 7th birthday and it took all my will power not to have a taste of her cake. So I am very proud of myself, though woke up with a headache today morning. having my cup of coffee and really looking forward to my breakfast tomorrow morning (read – slice of bread!!)

    Weight – 91.9kg… Yeah!!

  627. by funiNo Gravatar March 13th, 2012 2:07 pm

    Hi…i started the diet on the 10th saturday March.
    2day is my 4th day and i feel good with the results,though i havent weighed myself.
    my starting weight was 67 kg
    will keep u posted

  628. by CarolNo Gravatar March 14th, 2012 7:04 am

    Day 3 – Morning all. Thoroughly enjoyed my one slice of bread this morning. Must admit, I am not looking forward to lunch – dont particularly enjoy the green salad with lemon. All the same, the side effects not too bad and I will do my best to get to the end.
    as for weighing, I think I should get my hubby or househeld to hide the scales so that I dont keep jumping onto them at every opportunity. Might get discouraged. We’ll see.
    Weight – 91.2Kgs.

    All the best to those preparing to start, and those already doing it.

  629. by CarolNo Gravatar March 14th, 2012 2:19 pm

    This is tough…

  630. by MaBongiNo Gravatar March 14th, 2012 2:43 pm

    Finished my diet on the 19th of Feb and its all good, lost 9kg I’m on 71kg and still feeling great and still eating healthy and at the gym 4 times a week. It does work.

  631. by CarolNo Gravatar March 14th, 2012 2:57 pm

    @ Mabongi, Thanks for your post. Personally needed that. 10 days to go.
    Have you regained any of the weight back?

  632. by emaNo Gravatar March 15th, 2012 5:28 am

    Dear All,

    I started the 13 days diet (restricted version) last monday 12/3, so today I am on the 4th day. Diet is not an easy one, though the results worth all the difficulties. So far I lost around 3kg, which is really good for me, although I need another 5kg or so. First day was the hardest with the headache, but then it all gone by the second day. I actually feel full most of the time and my eating portion became less, I couldnt finish the apple yesterday :) . My husband started with me the diet, and he does not want to go on the scale yet :) Will keep you posted. Hang in there, its all about 13 days.

    Stella’s 12kg has me speechless. Congrats everyone this is very encouraging had to stop at day 7 coz started exams but will get back on soonest.

  636. by CarolNo Gravatar March 16th, 2012 8:04 am

    Day 5 – Still hanging in there… Was seriously tempted to quit yesterday but somehow made it through the night. I’ve got to make it through! Fingers and toes crossed.

  637. by RehemaNo Gravatar March 16th, 2012 8:22 am

    Carol, dont let the spinach and tomato day be for nothing. hang in there, when discouraged just squeeze into that dress that youve always wanted to fit in, the difference will keep u going.

  638. by CarolNo Gravatar March 16th, 2012 8:45 am

    Thanks Rehema!! Good idea. Will also carry one in my handbag, and when temptations threaten to get the better of me, I will just peek into the bag to remind myself why I am hungry! hehehe

    Hi guys … want to know its my 3days on the diet want to know if its possible i can have wine atleast few glasses or is it not acceptable?

  640. by CarolNo Gravatar March 16th, 2012 12:01 pm

    Hi Xabisa. As far as I know, one is not supposed to eat anything even chewing gum. So I guess wine is not acceptable.

  641. by RehemaNo Gravatar March 16th, 2012 12:30 pm

    agree with Caro, no wine allowed.

  642. by xabisaNo Gravatar March 16th, 2012 12:33 pm

    thanks! i ll stay awy from hanging with frends till im done. i must say today its very challenging.

  643. by CarolNo Gravatar March 17th, 2012 6:53 am

    So, Started day 6 with a cup of coffee and slice of bread. Weight down to 89.5Kg (disappointing – thought it would be more) but lost 2cms in my waist, and another 2cms in my hips (Yay!!). Jumped into my jeans that I could not fit into a couple of months ago so I am definitely pleased with the progress. Diet is very hard, but really really worth it. Just have a question for those who managed to complete it, did the weight lost stay off?

    Have a Great Day and weekend everyone!!

  644. by NatalieHNo Gravatar March 18th, 2012 2:35 am

    Hi guys and girls

    I want to start this diet but i do not consume pork products. What do I substitute the ham with? please help as i need to start as soon as possible. I have a deadline of 2 weeks before i hit the 40 mark.

  645. by CarolNo Gravatar March 19th, 2012 6:29 am

    Day 8 – Down 4.4kgs. After reading the comments below, I had set a target of 5kgs so God willing I should achieve that by Day 9. Anything thereafter will be a welcome bonus. Yesterday was very tough but I pulled through without cheating, thank God!

  646. by CarolNo Gravatar March 19th, 2012 6:29 am

    sorry, meant comments ‘above’.

  647. by rifonNo Gravatar March 19th, 2012 8:05 am

  648. by StellahNo Gravatar March 19th, 2012 8:14 am

    Hi Rehema, Thanx my dia, but i want to redo the diet after 3months coz i didnt hit my goal of weight loss but am feeling good though coz it took me 8 months to loose 4kgs in the gym but this only took 13days to loose 12kgs, so keep it up guys.

    @ Xavier, pliz dont even be tempted to take a sip of wine, unless you want to begin afresh from day 1

  649. by StellahNo Gravatar March 19th, 2012 8:17 am

    @ Nonso pliz elaborate about the special k diet

  650. by RehemaNo Gravatar March 19th, 2012 10:16 am

    Stella, am starting on Thursday, finishing exams on wednesday so want to get on this soooonest. I love this blog so inspires me. I actually dont have a target weight, i never weigh but want to get back into my fantastic size 14 or better yet size 12.

  651. by AnnaNo Gravatar March 19th, 2012 11:22 am

    starting the diet today. about time – summer is coming and i cant fit into any of my last years clothes. starting weight – 84kg – height 165cm. pls wish me luck. will keep you all updated. is anyone else starting the diet today?!

    cant eat steak – can it be swapped for chicken?

  652. by AnnaNo Gravatar March 19th, 2012 11:46 am

    i note some people say they eat toast? do you mean you have toast instead of cracker???

  653. by RehemaNo Gravatar March 19th, 2012 11:56 am

    Anna there are different versions, some say crackers, others toast: i plan on doing the 8 grain bread . All the beat Anna will be right behind you.

  654. by emaNo Gravatar March 19th, 2012 12:08 pm

    Hi all,

    its not an easy diet, but worth it i must say. I am on the 8th date of this diet, no cheating at all :) and i am so tired, although i dont get hungry anymore, only the dizziness and general weakness. I couldnt stand the spinach today :( I almost felt like vomiting, neither were i able to finish the egg and the tomato. I hope eating less will not affect the end result. I stopped weighting myself, keeping it till day 13th.

  655. by CarolNo Gravatar March 19th, 2012 12:12 pm

    Hi Anna, There are two diets. The one with toast is the one posted by Stellah sometime back which is the one I am also following.

  656. by AnnaNo Gravatar March 19th, 2012 12:45 pm

    thank you for clarification. just seen the other diet posted by Stellah. try to follow the original one.

    re: eggs – it says hard boiled eggs. can i swap them for poached eggs sometimes?

  657. by motivational success storiesNo Gravatar March 19th, 2012 9:28 pm

    Hello just want to tell this is great blog. Wish you good luck in future. Defently coming back here!

  658. by KrissyNo Gravatar March 20th, 2012 4:11 am

    Well, this is day 2 of the diet for me. The version I have doesn’t have any sugar what so ever. I weighed in @ 68.3kgs. I’m not doing this to loose weight, but I’m wanting to cut back on my sugar intake as I eat about $2 worth a day!! Just want to encourage everyone on this diet, it is hard but we can do it!! I’m only going to do the 7 day one I think.

  659. by CarolNo Gravatar March 20th, 2012 6:47 am

    Day 9 – Still marching on. Only four (very long) days to go but it is not so tough as last week.

  660. by StellahNo Gravatar March 20th, 2012 10:56 am

    Hi Rehema, pliz make sure you begin so that you can fit in ure size 14 clothes, wish you all the best.

    Do you know of any other diet i can do for the mean time as i wait for 3months to re do the one i did?

  661. by BrightNo Gravatar March 26th, 2012 7:21 am

    Hay guys! Day starting weight 78kg! Hope I can do this need to be able to where my Levi jeans again!

  662. by RehemaNo Gravatar March 26th, 2012 10:26 am

    Bright be encouraged, am wearing more items that id pushed to the back of the closet. Havent buttoned my jacket in a while, i feel sooo light.

  663. by janineNo Gravatar March 27th, 2012 2:40 pm

    Hello everyone

    I start this diet tomorrow. i did a 13 day diet similar to this one (VERY DIFFICULT) in 2010 and lost about 12 kg…then on day 12 called it quits. i was in tears, emotional and refusing to complete day 13. much to the confusion of my then boyfriend who was doing the diet with me. so after 12 days i lost 12 kg. i found out later i was pregnant…which explains why i was crying and acting irrational. now i have pregnancy weight to lose. im 110kg, unhappy and am not losing weight despite eating well and going to gym. SO im doing this as a 7 day diet (cos i found that one actually loses weight in the first 7 days, the rest of the days is kinda plateau). Im using it to catapult me to a feeling of well being cos i know how disheartening it is when you working out and eating healthy and not seeing changes on the scale. This diet will definetly cause a drop in weight on the scale and thats what i need right now…the scale to speak to me. I cant buy clothes- i live in Portugal now where people are typically small built…my Scottish ancestry means I have a tall and big frame so finding clothes is extremely difficult in Portugal. I have to lose wieght, because I need clothes. I will keep you all posted. Ciao Ciao fellow Saffers!

  664. by sonniNo Gravatar March 28th, 2012 5:54 am

    Hey,, i’m on day 4 now to a similar diet, but found yesterday(day3) extremely difficult! I went to bed hungry and woke up this morning feeling dizzy and shaking. I had my breakfast at 5am. I feel better now that i have eaten a small apple extra:). Hope today is better, and that i don’t go to sleep hungry tonight. Please let me know if any of you felt the same?

  665. by sonniNo Gravatar March 28th, 2012 6:08 am

    Oh,, and I lost about 3kg in that firt 3 days. I’m thinking its worth it if you stick to it :D

  666. by RehemaNo Gravatar March 28th, 2012 6:34 am

    janine welcome aboard am on day 7 and its paying off havent really weighed myself but the tummy is going. Sonny its tough but dont give up, i also started off saying that id do the 7 days but after the results now am going for the long haul.

  667. by janineNo Gravatar March 28th, 2012 8:32 am

    Hello again. Just fiished my cup of coffee from Day 1. Gonna keep busy in the house to keep my mind off eating. Isnt it amazing that there are so many times when one can go without food without even giving it a second thought but the minute you are on a diet, you think of food all the time. Its psychological. Ive tried every diet known to mankind…for the past two months have been on a diet with gym and have not lost a pound…yes i cheat from time to time but aint that life.I have just come to a point in my life where I cannot rationalise eating only clean…it doesnt make sense…yes it yields results but its not real life. I need to figure out how to balance clean eating with having desert and some carbs etc and still maintain weight loss. Im just not on board with all this low fat, high carbs…or low carbs and high fat cos in order to lose you have to stick with it for the rest of your life and after a week or so any diet gets boring to me. My mother lost over 20 kg in the 90′s from just cuting her lunch from 4 slices to two. And she never gained that weight back. i think we complicate stuff most times and the diet websites are full of complicated stuff so I am going to keep it simple: eat less and lose weight…the way folk used to do it before all the diet industry became a billion dollar industry. I will consider this 7 days a type of intermittent fasting period for me…fasting is good for the body and soul. Thats my mindset, and Im sticking to it. Happy Day 1 to me.

  668. by janineNo Gravatar March 28th, 2012 8:37 am

    Oh just one thing: this diet is a bit different from the one i did in 2010. Tell me…what fruit to put in fruit salad? Are all fruits cool?

  669. by AngieNo Gravatar March 28th, 2012 3:13 pm

    i started this diet today. Day 1 is not so great. I feel terrible. I can’t wait for steak this evening. Is it okay to take a multivitamin – hoping this will help UP my energy levels? I want to try do 13 days. I’ve a lot of baby fat that i need to shed. I’m keeping my fingers crossed that the diet will work for me.
    So Janine i will keep an eye out for your posts to keep me going. This blog really is encouraging

  670. by janineNo Gravatar March 28th, 2012 4:56 pm

    Hey Angie

    Im totally feeling you. i woke up this morning full of energy. Had my coffee…got busy with some ironing. Had my lunch…but gawsh am I not counting the hours to supper!!! Was so tempted to take an apple.Im absolutely hungry. That steak is in trouble for sure. Im only doing 7 days. As I said I did this diet before and only lost weight in the first seven days, the rest of the diet, no weight was lost. So i figure, why torture myself unnecessarily. Keep going yall. Tomorrow is about the same as today -might as well mentally prepare myself for it. About the vitamins, I dont know either, I take quite a medley normally but dont think that I can stomach pills now, so I will skip them for the next 7 days…or maybe I’ll take my fish oil or omega supplement. Not sure. Or after tonight’s steak, I’ll swallow them because now my stomach is so empty, I may gag! All the best

  671. by sonniNo Gravatar March 28th, 2012 7:28 pm

    It did go A lot better today! I wasn’t hungry like yesterday,, but now that the weekend is coming on I already planned that I will go play a bit of tennis to keep my mind busy. Tomorrow is day 5 and I saw it was no fruit or bread like day 1. @ janine preparing myself mentally sound like a good idea,, let’s do this!:D

  672. by janineNo Gravatar March 29th, 2012 11:40 am

    Go Sonni!!!

    Im on Day 2 today and I have to say Day 1 was hard simply because of the headaches. I slept with a headache last night and fortunately did not wake up with one. Just that feelign of emptiness. Amazing that a huge steak like the one i had last night simply disappeared. nogal I had it with a big lettuce (with lemon…YUCK!) salad. im used to colourful salads and typically dont eat lettuce with salad but spinach leaves so yeah it was hard putting that salad down. So Day 2 is similar to day 1 except I can have a cracker today…yay! I checked the scale but wont say anything until my 7 days are done.

  673. by sonniNo Gravatar March 29th, 2012 8:08 pm

    Janine I tried it with lemon too. It is a bit unappetizing I must say. But tomorrow it is day 6 for me and fingers crossed that I won’t give into temptation. I haven’t weighed myself again,, wil do it on day 11. Ill keep you posted on how much i lose..but untill then…strongs to eveyone! :D . After all…its only 13 days

  674. by janineNo Gravatar March 29th, 2012 9:04 pm

    Day 2 is over. Just had my 6-8 oz ham. Wow was that ham tasting salty. Im downing the water, then going to bed. The earlier I sleep the less I will want to raid the fridge. Just bought magnum minis from the supermarket…and they calling my name, so Im going to bed rather. Looking forward to day 3. PS: With my coffee this morning, I had 4 wholewheat crackers which is equivalent to one slice of bread. I cant say I felt too hungry today. Cheerio!

  675. by AngieNo Gravatar March 30th, 2012 8:49 am

    Day three today. Feeling so much better than i have over the last 2 days. I had a slice of wholemeal toast – which tasted SO good. Was kinda missing my starch. Dreading the boiled celery tonight. Trying to resist the temptation to weigh myself.
    Well done Sonni. You’ve done well. I’m worried about the weekend. Its easier following the diet whilst at work. Too many temptations out there

  676. by janineNo Gravatar March 30th, 2012 9:56 am

    Breakfast: black coffee or tea with slice w/w bread
    Lunch: two hard-boiled eggs, 1 cup green beans, 1 cup tomatoes
    Dinner: an 8-10 slice oz. of Ham, 2 cups green bean/tomato salad

    Hello all

    This is my Day 3. Went to the scale and yes I am still losing weight. My concern is what to do after this diet. I never got to find out the last time i did this diet because i found out I was pregnant and that was the end of that. I was thinking perhaps the best thing to do would be to go on a very low cal diet like
    1000-1200 calories a day (which is a bit more than this diet. I checked: this diet is about 700 to 1100 calories per day) And steadily very slowly adjust my caloric intake to coincide with my caloric needs. Cos the worst thing that could happen to me is if I were to put all that weight back on. This diet is a like a catapult for me-not a means to an end. So after this post, I will search for low cal diets so that i have a plan for next week. So lemme be off. Going to have my coffee and slice of bread. Mind over matter..mind over matter…mind over matter….

  677. by janineNo Gravatar March 31st, 2012 12:37 pm

    Breakfast: black coffee or tea with one to two packets of Sweet & Low or Equal and one cracker
    Lunch: one hard boiled egg, 1 cup raw carrots
    Dinner: one cup regular yoghurt, 1 oz. mozzarella cheese, 1 cup fruit salad

    Day 4…not looking forward to supper…gee Mozzarella Cheese..wow!!!! Off to have my black coffee and cracker

  678. by janineNo Gravatar April 1st, 2012 12:40 am

    Day 4 is done! No comment

  679. by janineNo Gravatar April 1st, 2012 9:02 am

    Day 5 today. Seems like attitude affects weight loss as much as calories. My mood worsened by the end of yesterday and the weight I had loss increased by 0.5kg. So I will myself to be happy today. Gots lotsa things to do today.

  680. by janineNo Gravatar April 2nd, 2012 6:47 am

    Doing Day 6 today, and nearly done. Hows everybody this monday morning?

    Breakfast: black coffee or tea with one to two packets of Sweet & Low or Equal and 1 cracker

    Dinner: two hardboiled eggs, 1 raw carrot

  681. by AngieNo Gravatar April 2nd, 2012 2:25 pm

    The weekend was terrible. Today not so bad. i wonder if i’ve lost weight. Trying to stay away from the scale till tomorrow. Also trying to mentally prepare for tomorrow DAY 7

  682. by PheladiNo Gravatar April 2nd, 2012 2:40 pm

    can eggs be Substituted? as am allergy

  683. by janineNo Gravatar April 2nd, 2012 7:12 pm

    Hi Angie
    Are you doing 7 days or 13 days. Im doing 7…so Im looking forward to tomorrow. The end of the round 1. Why was your weekend terrible?

  684. by janineNo Gravatar April 2nd, 2012 7:14 pm

    Pheladi, are you allergic to egg yolk or egg whites. APparently you cannot be allergic to yolk, only whites. If so, eat only the yolk.

  685. by MaryNo Gravatar April 3rd, 2012 9:16 am

    I am on day 2.Day 1 was not bad at all. I am hoping that day 2 wont be bad. My start weight is 63kg, My target is 58Kg, more loss will be higly appreciated as Im also keen to see how small my body can actually be if pushed.

    Good lick every one. :)

  686. by RehemaNo Gravatar April 3rd, 2012 11:43 am

    oh mary 63kg!!!!!! How i envy you? thats where ill be after yrs

  687. by AngieNo Gravatar April 3rd, 2012 12:57 pm

    Hi Janine
    My diet seems different to yours. Today is day 7 for me. I’m having only a plain cup of tea with no sugar for breakfast, nothing for lunch then grilled lamb and fresh fruit for supper.
    I am SO hungry right now. I keep sipping on warm water to try get me through the day. I still haven’t weighed myself yet. I wonder how much i have lost. I am doing 13 days. This diet has been so horrible. I am craving just about everything. I’m so sick of this and feel like i can’t go on anymore but will push on.
    Weekend was bad cause this is me with no energy but my toddlers (both boys) keeping me on my toes the entire time.

  688. by MaryNo Gravatar April 3rd, 2012 1:08 pm

    Hi Rehema.

    It’s a constant fight hey. the thing is Im very short and I really need to keep my weight as low as I can, ortherwise I’m over weight and feel depressed.

  689. by JanineNo Gravatar April 3rd, 2012 4:42 pm

    @ Angie.I’ll be very honest. I have not done this diet strictly. when i felt hungry, i had an apple. i have 3 kids and a husband who are constantly wanting my attention.i cant afford to walk around dizzy and unresponsive. yes i too have wished for everything. sometimes when i was hungry, i would have two wholewheat crackes with peanut butter and i have still lost weight. im only doing 7 days because i dont want my body to go into starvation mode which is counterproductive. tomorrow morning i will post my total weight loss. im happy with it because its a kickstart for me. after this i will eat normal for 1 day. then start my 1000 calorie a day diet which is 3 days. then i will eat normally again for one day…and so on and so on.

  690. by JanineNo Gravatar April 3rd, 2012 4:47 pm

    @Angie…if you are feeling ill, you should stop, and do it again in another 3 months. 7 days is fine. check your weight…you may be happy with what you see. All the best

  691. by MaryNo Gravatar April 3rd, 2012 7:26 pm

    @Janine, have you checked how much you have lost yet even when you altered the diet?
    My day 2 today and even though I was not hungry, I had a terribble headache for the whole afternoon till now.
    @ Angie you are right warm water seems to get me going as well,I took warm water with lemon afte my supper which was only HAM and it seemed to help a little bit.

  692. by JanineNo Gravatar April 4th, 2012 12:32 am

    Hi Mary

    I have checked my weight. As it stands I have lost 4 kilos in 7 days. I am happy with the weight. Tomorrow morning I will give the final weigh in. Why I say I am happy is because I have a long way to go yet and i did not want my body to starve. I am 106kg as it stands…my pre pregnancy weight was 84kg. My goal weight is 76kg so as you see i have lots more to lose. I will do this diet again in 3months time if i deem it necessary. I am going to gym and this diet kinda taught me how to survive on much less food without fainting. I am testing the waters. they say healthy weight loss is 1-2 pounds per week…i lost 4 kg (8.4pounds) so that is a lot of weight…and i plan to maintain in by zig-zag eating so at to confuse my body. i dont want it to know im on a diet :-) . I start my 1000 calorie diet which will have me taking in just a bit more food and a bit more variety-thats for 3 days. then on Friday (good Friday) i will eat my pickled fish and hot cross buns like normal for that whole weekend, then Monday I start my detox 7 day diet (different from this one). after that i will eat normal for a day and start the real eating plan of intermittent fasting on a 1200 -1400 calorie diet. that will be my lifestyle fixture. Thats the plan, hopefully with exercise, i will get to my goal weight and be nice and toned. 4kg down…30kg more to go!

  693. by JanineNo Gravatar April 4th, 2012 10:22 am

    Hi all

    My 7 day diet is officially over. And the weightloss is confirmed at 4 kg in 7 days. I feel good. On to the next step. How are things with you?

  694. by AngieNo Gravatar April 4th, 2012 12:50 pm

    Hi All

    Well done Janine. Thats great news. Well done for sticking with it as well. All the best with the 1000 calorie a day diet. Tell me about it please.
    @Mary – just make sure that you are drinking lots of water. It really helps with the headaches.

    I weighed myself yesterday evening. As it stands i have lost 6kg in 7 days. I’m so happy. I really didn’t expect this. I thought 3kg at most. I’ve heard that the second week one doesn’t lose as much weight as the first – but if i could lose the same – i’d be ecstatic. Then i can try follow a healthy eating plan with exercise as well.
    Today i’m day 8 – so far so good. Seems that this diet alters your appetite somehow. Cause today i have struggled to finish the spinach, egg and tomato lunch. Not sure if thats a good thing.

  695. by JanineNo Gravatar April 4th, 2012 1:08 pm

    Hi Angie

    Congrats are in order. Well done. 6 kgs in 7 days…thats almost 1kg per day. A lot!

    Hi there… I’ve been thinking of starting this diet for a while now but was kind of afraid because it looks so tough. I am 40 years old, only 5ft 1 and this morning I was about 59kg. My ideal target would be 50. I am starting this tomorrow, so will see how much my starting weight will be then. My main concern is that I work quite long hours and I’m afraid my brain will be all fuzzy and I’ll be tired because of starvation, + a lot of you here mentioned headaches. Last summer I had managed to get down to about 53kg and I was ok, but somehow the kgs just kept on adding up because I wasn’t careful. Now I know I’m not that overweight but my clothes are tight and I feel uncomfortable. I would love to get back into my tight jeans and pencil skirts which at the moment are a no-go. However I am mainly doing this for myself as I need a BIG boost to my morale. Life has not been great for a while now and I’m constantly feeling tired and run-down, also due to a series of unfortunate events. I hope we’ll become friends and support each other through this. I look forward to hearing from you.

    Hello becky and good luck. I didn’t have any headaches and although I feel quite hungry and tired (my body is so heavy) I’m quite awake! I think it’s beacause of a multivitamin I take every morning (q10plus). I wouldn’t start this diet withought a vitamin pill. Good luck with your goal.

  701. by MaryNo Gravatar April 5th, 2012 8:51 pm

    @ MGAT I am defenately going for 13 days, just hoping to have reached my target(5kg loss)by day 7.
    @ Becky welcome. I only had a headache on day 2, and this diet has not been as hectic as I thought it would be. And taking lots of water really helps with the headaches.

    Good luck.

    Hiya, I haven’t been here in a bit. U know as I read more I don’t feel so bad as this diet didn’t work 4 me. I lost 1 kg in that week but remembered the principle in life, not everything is 4 every1. Angie, my motivator, ur name seems 2 b popular, trust u well. Just thought I’d come and leave a very interesting diet my mate & I tried. Lost 3kgs, cheated a little as 1 is suppose to lose up to 1stone=6.35kgs in 1 week. It’s called the egg diet so maybe after this 1 u can try the egg diet 7 days. Apparently the calories are 650 – 1000 at max on sum days. I’m thinking it’s a max on the days of lamb. The lamb, steak, chicken and fish r interchangeable or u can drop 1 4 another.

    OK here goes.. Day 1… weighed in at 59.7kg :-( (( I am following the 13-day diet (Danish hospital one) which is quite similar to this one and has been mentioned here before. For breakfast I had my black coffee with one sugar cube. Since today is a holiday in my country I didn’t have to go to work and instead I went out for 1 hour’s vigorous fast walking (including uphill). Now am back and my tummy is already rumbling :) Will fill up on water. I am determined to lose this weight and get back into my clothes. I hope this diet will work for me!!

  705. by BeckyNo Gravatar April 7th, 2012 7:05 am

    Well I must say, yesterday was TOUGH. I felt hungry all the time and I got terrible headache in the afternoon. It was a good thing I was not at work, because I could take two headache pills and lie down for a nap. I did not enjoy my food at lunch or at dinner, and with every mouthful I felt the food growing in my mouth and had to sip lots of water until I finished. Hmmm…. I hope I make it. My only hope is that as I go along, my body will get used to eating so little and I won’t feel so hungry all the time. On the positive side – this morning I weighed 58.7 – exactly 1 kg less than yesterday. I know that it’s probably all just water weight loss, but it’s a very encouraging start nevertheless. Good luck to everyone else here.

  706. by MGATNo Gravatar April 8th, 2012 11:47 am

    I’m finally at the 7th day!I’ve lost 2 kilos and I was fine until now. The diet I’m having sais also that the 7th day I must not eat ANYTHING for lunch!I’m starving!I think I’ll eat an egg!

  707. by BeckyNo Gravatar April 9th, 2012 7:59 am

    Hi Mgat.. How much weight are you aiming to lose? What was your starting weight? I am now on Day 4 and so far have lost not more than 1.8kg but I would like to lose a total of 9.7kg which I’m seeing as a long shot. If I manage to lose 6.7kg I’ll be satisfied but 9.7 would be awesome. This diet is tough. My version of the diet says that on day 7 you have a cup of tea in the morning, a slice of grilled meat (lamb or veal cutlet) for lunch and 1 fruit in the evening. It’s a little but at least it’s something. I have found so many variations of this diet online that I’m really confused. They all claim to work though!

    At the end of Day 2 I had serious doubts as to whether I’d be able to see this through, because I was feeling nauseous. On Day 3, I couldn’t even swallow my lunch and barely touched the tomato and steamed mangetout (replacing celery) on my plate, and just had an apple which I really enjoyed because I had been craving some kind of sweetness. Yesterday was Easter Sunday and for the first time ever I didn’t have any chocolates or other sweets – that was tough as I had a family lunch to attend where there were all kinds of nice things available, eg roast potatoes, chocolates, a lovely flan for dessert, etc. But I am proud to say I stuck to my guns and just ate what was on the diet sheet. I hope we will be rewarded for our pains! :-)

  708. by MGATNo Gravatar April 9th, 2012 5:11 pm

    Hello Becky!
    So I’m 165cm high and started the diet at 68 kilos. Now, (8th day) I’m 66,1 and 2nd day of period-so I hope I’ve lost more… To tell you the truth even the 2 first kilos are a success for me because I have ruined my metabolism . For exemple During last summer I was doing a diet for 7 weeks with a dietician and only lost 2 kilos! I’m 29 years old and had my first diet at the age of 10. Since then I’m constantly in all kinds of diets. This diet was my last hoppe. This january I touched the 70kilos which is the most I’ve ever been. So I started a balanced diet and lost the first 2 kilos in 2,5 months… I was really diapointed. This diet game me at least a big smile!!
    My general goal is to be at least 60kilos by June cause I’m feeling bad to where my bekini and (I’m Greek) and go with my boyfriend’s friends at the beach!! If I loose more I’ll be thrilled.
    Now, concerning this diet I think I’ll fix a dieting-plan based on this diet, I’m thinking of puting the 2 first days, the one with NO bread in a 7 days program. What do you think?
    P.S. Happy Easter for you, we will have it this sunday. I’m suffering too infront of these sweets…

  709. by BeckyNo Gravatar April 9th, 2012 9:20 pm

    We’re so alike in our thoughts Mgat! I am 10cm shorter than you and my realistic goal is 53kg but my dream goal is 50! I told myself that if I manage to reach the first target I will buy myself a new bikini. I am in Malta so summer is BIG here too, like in Greece. :)

    I have been dieting since age 13, because I always tended to put on weight very easily. The only way I managed to lose weight and reach 53 was every time I attended a 10 week course at one of our slimming salons here. The problem is however that once you stop going, even if you keep the diet, you start putting it back on, because at the salon they have these great machines for toning, and once you stop going, unless you exercise like crazy, you will start gaining, as happened every time with me.

    This diet sure is tough. Today I went to the cinema.. the smell of popcorn and nachos was making my mouth water.. but I just stuck to sipping water. I had made it a point to eat my fruit and yogurt before going to the cinema, but now I’m starving. Dreading breakfast tomorrow morning which for me is a shredded carrot (yuck!) and no coffee :-( Right now, everyone at my office is bringing lots of leftover Easter sweets to work and it is HELL lol

    BUT I do feel I’m losing.. I don’t care if it’s just water weight for now.. It’s much better than no loss at all. I am really curious to see if I will get back into my tightest skirt again which right now is not even zipping up. Let’s see how this goes! :-)

  710. by LeahNo Gravatar April 10th, 2012 6:19 am

    I have done it for 13 days and i am now weighing 62kgs. My target is 60kgs and was wondering how i can sustain the weight i lost and meet my target. Is it wise to continue with the program sparingly and take carbs maybe twice or thrice per week? What is applicable after the diet program?

  711. by BeckyNo Gravatar April 10th, 2012 7:31 am

    That’s great Leah… how much weight did you lose in 13 days? If I manage to stick to this diet for the whole 13 days, I’ll probably take a short break and start a sensible diet a few days later. There are so many diets one can follow, and I think that if you try not to exceed a maximum of 1000 calories a day, one will continue to lose, even if you eat carbs. I will try and fit in more walking because as it is I’m not finding much time to exercise and it’s so important especially for toning.

    This is still Day 5 for me. Time seems to be passing slowly on this diet, but am happy to report am down 2.6kg so far. This morning I couldn’t handle the breakfast, which was meant to be a grated carrot with lemon. I took one mouthful and couldn’t even swallow it, so I ended up eating nothing and am now just sipping some warm water with lemon. Onwards and downwards!

  712. by MGATNo Gravatar April 10th, 2012 9:41 pm

    Becky…That was it. Ruined. I couldn’t keep it on. Good luck to you all. xxx

  713. by BeckyNo Gravatar April 11th, 2012 7:58 am

    @Mgat: I know and I sympathise… this diet truly is very hard to stick to. Maybe it’s not for everybody either. Don’t give up trying to lose the weight though… just find something else that works for you. If I were you I would take a bit of a short break, and start afresh say next Monday with another eating plan that is not as strict and hardcore as this one. I wish you the very best of luck. Stay focused, keep your goal firmly in sight. I wish you well x

  714. by BeckyNo Gravatar April 11th, 2012 8:08 am

    My update: Today am on Day 6. Weight loss so far: 2.8kg, which is quite good I think! Although having said that, I am already very bored of the “food” on my diet. The repetition of certain so-called meals makes this a very monotonous diet. So I find myself starving, tummy rumbling, but not even looking forward to meals because once it’s in front of me I don’t like what I’m eating. I especially dislike when I have to have carrots or other vegetables, because I am finding them very bland and sickening. My body is craving sweets like crazy, and the fact that you cannot even have a sugar free chewing gum or sugar free sweet is maddening. When you get that sweet craving, no matter how much water you knock back, it just doesn’t go. Also I miss my teas throughout the day. So I have started filling my mug with hot water instead and sipping on that at my desk… placebo tea. How sad is that? The next 7-8 days cannot pass soon enough – these are the longest 13 days of my life.

  715. by BeckyNo Gravatar April 12th, 2012 5:03 am

    Day 7: You know what? I think that’s it for me. I’m up 100g today and it’s very disheartening after the hardship I’m going through. I don’t think this diet is for me either and will find something more sustainable and long term. At least I managed to lose 2.7kg in all. Yesterday was a bad day because I was literally starving all day, couldn’t focus in my dance class and my legs were wobbly. Consequently even my dancing suffered and I won’t have it. I will still continue striving to lose weight but not in this extreme way. I am now 57 kg, meaning I have 4 kg left to lose until I reach my first target of 53kg. So I wish all the rest of you the best of luck and will still continue to strive towards my goal. Bye.

I started the diet with 69kg and i hope to have 60kg, i’m 1.72m! bye. Have a good week.

  718. by RehemaNo Gravatar April 16th, 2012 7:21 am

    hi mary fantastic to hear, a cheat meal doesnt hurt so long as you get right back, i think that it helps get over a plateau period, cheats the body a little after getting used to what u r taking in.

  719. by EdithNo Gravatar April 16th, 2012 8:55 am

    Hi All,

    A friend of mine shared this diet on Friday 13th. I officially started on Sunday 15th. Today is day 2 for me. I am going to weigh my self today. I have to loose min 10kg. I weigh around 85kh now.

    Chat later.

  720. by MaryNo Gravatar April 16th, 2012 12:21 pm

    Thanks for your reply Rehema! Today i’ve started my second week, let’s see whats happen! Of course, i haven’t lost any pound from yeasterday… See you! Happy week for everyone! ;)

  721. by ZinieNo Gravatar April 17th, 2012 1:42 pm

    Hi
    Guys i did the diet 2 months ago and i looked beautiful and all my bums and hips were gone.but now i have gained a few kilos back….I guess the only way to stay in shape and maintain is if u eat healthy,with me there was too much cheating and wrong food eating.

    I am doing it again for a week next week then i will maintain a healthy diet..Took advantage of the fact that i go to gym and i run in the morning :-(

  722. by MintyNo Gravatar April 18th, 2012 9:25 am

    Hey Guys..

    Started this diet on 16th April substituting beef and ham with egg whites and tofu.. since am a vegetarian but dont mind eating eggs… And guess what today 3rd day in the morning I weigh less… Hope the weight dosent come back :-)
    Starting weight 70kgs, today 68.5kgs… Amazing!!
    Has anybody tried the meat substitutes??

  723. by MintyNo Gravatar April 18th, 2012 9:30 am

    Never knew before.. dry toast can be sooo yummy and filling!! Am so motivated… Any tips on maintaining the weight?? Hope it dosent come backkkkk!

  724. by DemetraNo Gravatar April 19th, 2012 9:32 pm

    Hello! Am on day 4!! Am not drinking the black coffee and i don’t eat spinach and tomatoes…is that ok ?

  725. by JanineNo Gravatar April 22nd, 2012 1:02 am

    blah blah blah….so I lost 4kg and put all of it back on when i returned to normal healthy eating. was a waste of my time and effort. looking to lose 1kg a week-decided ot keep it realistic. in 10 weeks i could be down 10 kilos. looks like the best way to get it all off for good is slowly. all the best to all of you’s. i think this diet is best for someone that needs to shed lots of pounds quickly for a specific event, like a wedding. long term its not effective. im sad about that. cheerio fellow dieters!

  726. by DidiNo Gravatar April 23rd, 2012 2:02 pm

    Hello all,

    I am on day 2 and I just had lunch, I must say chewing on those leaves made me feel like a goat(lol). I do not have a starting weight from yesterday, but this morning I weighed 71 kg’s. I will be using that as my starting weight. My aim is to lose about 6 kg’s at the very least 4.

    I was actually stupid to start with the diet just before the lonnngggg weekend.

    Good luck to everybody. I will weigh myself tomorrow morning.

  741. by TanyaNo Gravatar April 27th, 2012 9:52 am

    Day 4 for me today … so excited I’m 2kg down -(78kg) my goals weight for now is 75kg. This time Im taking it slower.

  742. by DidiNo Gravatar April 27th, 2012 3:48 pm

    Day 6 for me today, only meal of the day left is supper. I’m quite chuffed with myself, although I had a terrible dream where I ate something that I wasn’t supposed to eat and I had to stop, it was devastating :( . Thank God it was only a dream. The dream was probably triggered as a result of my struggle yesterday, I almost gave up all because of PMS.

    Anyhow, I am only 2 kgs down so far and I’m not complaining. Half full is always better than empty I think.

    Good luck fellow dieters. Stay in there.

    Hey everyone…Day 4 Gone,i lost 2 kg so far,i think its a bit slow because i’m on my MP. :( but my husband lost 3kg.Hoping to lose 3kg more.i’ll weigh again on monday

  744. by TanyaNo Gravatar April 28th, 2012 8:50 am

    Good Morning Everybody, day 5 for me and I’ve lost 3kg (weight now 77) whooo hooo. Enjoyed the carrots and lemon juice for breakfast.

    Im hoping to loose another 2 before day 7 – I’ve learned from the previous time that you loose most of the weight in the 1st half of the diet and the 2nd half is very slow. The purpose of this diet is to change your metabolism and digestion and you should finish the 13 days otherwise the diet will no have any effect.. My boyfriend says I never finish anything … so this time I’m gonna stay positive and finish this diet. I setting a realistic goal (of 75kg) for myself and hopefully I will not get demotivated again.

    8 days to go. Good Luck to everybody!

    Hi
    I just found this website I just finished day 4!! But I cheated bad today ate a packet of sweets that I found at discem they were too yum!! So I decided not to eat lunch. But I just need to know if this diet will still work for me? I was doing so well untill today :( I’m gonna carry on as I was before with noo cheating I just couldn’t resist hehe!

  746. by MGATNo Gravatar April 28th, 2012 7:30 pm

    HI KE! I think the idea of this diet is “not” to eat sugar inorder for your body to burn its fat. I think that when you ruin it you must eat but not bred,pasta, sugar etc. I did this diet 3 weeks ago I stopped after one week (only lost 2 kilos) then ate normaly for 2 weeks (lost 0,5 kilo and although they say that we mustn’t repeat it too soon, I did it again after 2 weeks. Now I’m on day 6 and I have lost 1,4 kilos. I started to feel dipressed and I dream of chocolate but I want to lose more.
    Eat something but something like beef and salad. Good luck

  747. by MGATNo Gravatar April 28th, 2012 7:38 pm

    tanya, hello. You said “One of my friends lost 45kg in 1 year on this diet”?? Is that true? How? For how long she did it? I want to loose 5 more till summer and 10 more generaly. I’m now 64,8 and 165 high

  748. by keNo Gravatar April 29th, 2012 7:12 am

    MGAT thanks for reply :)
    Today I’m starting day 5 and not going to cheat I haven’t weighed myself yet but I’m sure I’ve now put on the weight I lost and I had only lost 1kg but I’ll just carry on being good I’m doing it for the full 13 days so let’s see how it goes!!
    Good luck as well :) uve done so well

  749. by TanyaNo Gravatar April 29th, 2012 8:36 am

    @MGAT, yipp that is correct she lost the weight 2 years ago and never picked it up again. She did the 13 day diet – took a 2 month break – and started the diet again. Girl with all due respect if you weight is 64.8 and heigt 1.65 you are not overweight my love. But good luck anyway!

    @Ke good luck and don’t eat sweet rather have fruit if you need sugar. Remember the purpose of this diet is to correct you metabolism and you follow the diet strictly you can loose up to 9kg’s in 13 days.

    Day 6 for me – lost 3 kg still 77kg … but I feel GOOD.

  750. by keNo Gravatar April 29th, 2012 8:45 am

    Tanya that’s amazing!!! Well done
    Thank goodness I just weighed myself and I have not put on weight from yes I stayed the same so I’m happy :)
    Good luck as well!!! And 9kg would be amazing in 13 days!! Wow hope I can do that even 6 would be ok for me!

  751. by TanyaNo Gravatar April 30th, 2012 10:22 am

    Thank ke

    Day 7 for me …. and 4kg down (weight 76kg) – Have not cheated once and are determined to finish this time.

    6 days to go !

  752. by EshaNo Gravatar April 30th, 2012 12:16 pm

    DAY 7 FOR ME…..3KG DOWN…AND BY HUSBAND 4.3 KG…I’M HAPPY

  753. by melissaNo Gravatar May 1st, 2012 3:49 am

    i am from the usa and just started today. where is everyone from why there are no measurements in pounds. kinda confusing. so far doing good hungry this evning for sure. sooooooo how do you prepare a lettuce and celery salad or the green beans and tomatoes?

  754. by TanyaNo Gravatar May 1st, 2012 8:28 am

    @ Esha – congrats to both you and your hubby

    @ Melissa – I think everybody is from South Africa on this blog.

    Starting with day 8 today. 4.5kg down (weight 75.5kg). Had 2 tomatoes at 20:00 last night (wondering if that is considered cheating?). Anyway I’ve decided to not go to gym until Im finish with my 13 days. Going to gym makes me hungry and then I can not keep to the diet.

    Good Luck to everybody

  755. by enjabutNo Gravatar May 1st, 2012 7:46 pm

    Q? What happen if you missed one ingredient or you missed Lunch for some odd reason? What is the consequence of carrying on if you skipped one lunch?

  756. by DidiNo Gravatar May 1st, 2012 11:21 pm

    @Melissa
    I usually just chop the lettuce, slices of cucumber then add a bit of lemon juice and pepper just for flavour.

    The green beans I just boil with a bit of salt and the tomato I eat raw. So when sis you start?

    Today(May 2nd) I’m starting day 11, I hate the lunch but I will get through it. Even though I’ve just lost 3 kgs in 10 days, I am definitely sticking it out till the end :) , I’ve come this far after all.

  757. by AngieNo Gravatar May 2nd, 2012 6:26 am

    Hi there , I am in day 3 today .I am verywell and fine no headache and not hungry at all. So far I am loosing 2,1 kilogram when I check my weight this morning .I started the diet with the weight 59,4 kg . My husband loosing 2.5kg too. But we follow the 13 days diet in different plan. They not mention as much as you want . Its very strictly said like ex: 1 apple or orang or pear . 1 slice toast ..200 gram steak etc … But from reading all the information upstairs where everyone never have the same weght lost , in the end of the day the diet is depends of everybody dicipline . Giving a tiny salt and paper I think it didnt harm you at all ,we did it and still loosing weight .Drink minimum 2 liter of water is important ! According to my friends who did it already and loose very variation between 4 till 7 kilo .. The first till 4 days avoid to do exercise and follow your body to take a nap when you feel too .. The fift day your body start to adjust and you can do alot of activity thats the advise from my friend if I could share with you guys .hope it will help and dont forget water water water ! It is very important! Wish me luck guys …

  758. by TanyaNo Gravatar May 2nd, 2012 6:53 am

    Good Morning everybody …. today is day 9 for me. Ham again tonight no no no – I hate ham!!
    Weight unchanged on 75.5 kg.
    Good luck to everybody

  759. by AnjaNo Gravatar May 2nd, 2012 2:48 pm

    Hi all. I’ve read all the replies above and I am inspired to start this diet as soon as I have shopped the necc ingredients. I would like to know if taking Hoodia as a hunger suppressant will influence this diet?

  760. by TanyaNo Gravatar May 3rd, 2012 6:38 am

    Good Morning all,

    Day 10 for me (weight unchanged on 75.5kg) – 4.5 kg in 10 days not bad. My goal weight is 75kg soooo I still have 4 days to get rid of this last 0.5kg.

    @Anja I dont think you should take a hunger suppressant as this diet is suppose to correct you metabolism – if you follow the diet correctly you are not suppose to get hungry in between.

  761. by MegNo Gravatar May 3rd, 2012 10:37 am

    Good morning,

    Starting this today at 154lb (11 stone), which i think translates into 70 kilo… my ultimate goal is 55 kilos so hoping this will get me started!

    I also wanted to know do we HAVE to eat the tomato/spinach or can we substitute for similar veg like say broccoli or lettuce?

    Good Luck to everyone already on the diet!

  762. by TanyaNo Gravatar May 3rd, 2012 5:37 pm

    Day 10 done only 3 more days. I will weigh tomorrow morning again.

    @Meg I think it is better stick to the diet 100 %. You can make a nice omelette with spinach filling and its actually very nice!

  763. by GretaNo Gravatar May 3rd, 2012 9:30 pm

    Hi fellow fat haters, i heard about this diet 3 days ago and decided to start it, i ve always been obese and reading all your weights has made me realise how heavy i am. My starting weight was 111kg after day 1 lost 1 kilo, today was day 2…….not sure if i should weigh myself tomorrow. Im really looking forward to the 2 toast tomorrow morning…..lol how desperate is that…….good luck everyone :)

  764. by AngieNo Gravatar May 4th, 2012 2:02 am

    Hi Greta , dont give up ..keep going … This diet is really works …

  765. by MegNo Gravatar May 4th, 2012 9:49 am

    @Tanya – thanks i will do that then, just think ill have to start on monday for me to be able to get all the stuff in

    @Greta, good look and congrats on the kilo already!!

  766. by DidiNo Gravatar May 4th, 2012 4:39 pm

    Hi guys, it’s day 13 for me and I have one meal left to the finish line. Life’s pressures and stresses are pushing me to buy a bottle of wine tonight. I am really stressed and I am trying very hard to fight temptations, but I feel really weak today. I hope I can stay in this until I go to bed, the next few hours are crucial for me. Wish me luck.

  767. by GretaNo Gravatar May 4th, 2012 7:40 pm

    @ angie and meg thanks, today is almost over and it was so hard as the rest of the family got chinese take out……it was torture

  768. by TanyaNo Gravatar May 5th, 2012 7:24 am

    HI Everybody …. day 12 and 5kg down …. whoooo hoooo I weigh 75kg. I feel so good, my skin looks better and Im soooo motivated. I reached the 75kg goal … next goal is 70kg by the end of May (that is just over 1kg a week). tomorrow is my last day. After the diet my gonna continue without sugar and carbs …. and yes Im going to gym.

    @Greta – good luck girl. One of my friends lost 45kg (in one year) on this diet and never picked it up again. So yes it really works

    @Didi – hope things are but better for you. Rather have whiskey instead of wine. I have whiskey and tab or whiskey and sprite zero (if Im not on the diet)

    Good luck to everybody

  769. by SammyNo Gravatar May 5th, 2012 8:05 am

    hi!! i am on a birth control pill and a anti depressant. Will this diet work for me?? Starting tommorrow.. i now weigh 81.2 kg, hoping to lose no less than 8kg. PLEASE ANYONE ANSWER ME ASAP!!!!

  771. by TanyaNo Gravatar May 7th, 2012 7:06 am

    Good Morning everybody, I’ve successfully completed the 13 day diet and lost 5 kg. I know the rules of the diets says you have to take a 2 month break before doing the diet again but Im starting with day 1 again today. I enjoy the diet and like the food …. sooo I have nothing to loose except for another 5kg by the end of May.
    Good Luck to everybody

  772. by MariskaNo Gravatar May 7th, 2012 11:57 am

    Hi all, I started today and have a couple of questions. When you look at the diet it mentions Breakfast., lunch and dinner. Do you not eat anything in between, can you have coffee again during the day, can you split your meal for the hungry periods between meals or not?

  773. by AngieNo Gravatar May 7th, 2012 3:23 pm

    Hi everyone

    I haven’t been on this site for a while now. I lost about 6 kg when i did the diet (13 day diet). It was hard but the results are certainly worth the effort you are putting in now. for me personally – it has helped me reduce my portions and i can easily do without starch unlike before. I think i have put on some weight but everyone around me thinks i’m still losing so not sure hey. But definately am trying to maintain a healthy diet.

    @Blue Topaz – I will definately try that diet. Thank you
    @Janine – once you have kids, i think your metabolism or is it age definately changes. When i was you nger i didn’t have to struggle so much to lose weight. And by the way i am 32. Imagine when older. some friends of mine combined this diet with exercise and they reported a 15-20 kg weight loss in total. I couldn’t – i was just too weak most times.

    I would love to do 7 days sometime soon but not sure if its advisable to do so. I think this diet is a good way to kick start a weight loss regime – and then hope to keep it off.

  774. by SammyNo Gravatar May 7th, 2012 3:55 pm

    Thanks Angie!! tommorrow i’m starting on day 3… I hope this works and that i wont gain all the lost weight back or even more :/

  775. by SofiaNo Gravatar May 7th, 2012 7:35 pm

    Hello,
    I am starting Day 1 today and I am really hopeful to have this diet work. I tried it once, but gave up after day 2. I am going to stick to it this time. I am 243 pounds. I will post my updates. Hoping to get some support in order to survive these 13 days.

  776. by MatshasiNo Gravatar May 7th, 2012 11:04 pm

    Hi guys
    Well I started my diet this morning. The day went well, I haven’t cheated. My current weight is 70kg & my ideal weight is 58kg. So if I strictly follow this plan for the next 13 days I should be able to reach my goal with ease…
    Resists temptation – Yes I Can (fingers crossed)

  777. by PoohmlaNo Gravatar May 8th, 2012 9:40 am

    hey guys… all i have been doing all morning is reading your comments and yes i am definetly starting tomorrow.

    I bought all my stuff yesterday and i am so ready… I will weigh myself in the morning so that i know my starting weight and then again after the 13 days cause ill be doint the 13 day diet.

    All the best to everyone who is starting and those that have started….

  778. by MatshasiNo Gravatar May 8th, 2012 2:15 pm

    Hi everyone
    I’m on day 2 & still going strong. One problem though “Celery” I don’t like it, taste & the smell. So for my green salad I used lettuce,cucumber & peppers, is that allowed ?

    Hi all, please can someone answer me. How do you follow this diet as it only mentions breakfast, lunch and dinner, I have difficulty with my sugar constantly falling. Does it mean you can only have coffee in the morning and not again later during the day and night?

  781. by poohmlaNo Gravatar May 9th, 2012 8:40 pm

    Hey strong people… Day 1 done, it was so difficult, was a bit dizzy n had a headache.
    I am proud of me because I am not disciplined but I think the challenge is to start and for me the worst is over.

    Starting weight 84kg’s, will weigh again on day 14.
    Stay focused team.

  782. by bianca247 hoping to lose weightNo Gravatar May 10th, 2012 8:20 am

    hey guys keep on keeping on …i am on day 4 and i am going strong. I have taken my entire afternoon meal and divided into two. i eat the first half in the morning at 10 and the other half at 2pm. I have noticed i don’t get hungry until dinner…it really helps…but i don’t see the difference because i have been not eating any starch before i started this diet…but am hoping for the best.oh my starting weight has been 111kg i lost 8kg in one month by eating no starches…I started a month ago..i have started this diet because it is less calories …after this diet i will go back to my no starches…i really need to lose weight…it becomes very depressing when you can no longer do the things you use to do…and when i jumped on the scale at the doctors rooms and it said 111kg’s i cried myself to sleep that night…i lost myself, self esteem and confidence….and everyday i get it back…i suppose when you get married you tend to lose yourself and that is the worse thing a women can ever do….well good luck guys…

  783. by Nolly seitshiroNo Gravatar May 10th, 2012 2:00 pm

    this diet is all good i must say. im on it the third time now. normally i do it to loose a lot then start eating healthy on less quantities going to the gym to firm because while doing it im low on energy, so i cant do gym.

    i love it ;)

  784. by sueNo Gravatar May 10th, 2012 10:07 pm

    Hi guys.. so great to see all the comments on the diet.. I want to start on Monday, but need to know if I can substitute ham – cant eat that. Also, can I use a zero calorie sweetner in my coffee and is it okay to use lemon as flavouring on my chicken etc.? Please help.

  785. by poohmlaNo Gravatar May 11th, 2012 1:18 am

    Hey Sue,

    I don’t eat ham so I substituted with chicken polony. All the best 4 Monday, today is day 3 4 me.

  786. by SmaNo Gravatar May 11th, 2012 6:39 am

    Hi ladies, today was day. 3for me nd I must say I’m beginning to love the bitter coffee as I got to the weight I’m at because of my love for sugar and now it’s all good I suppress my hunger by increasing my water intake and so far it works now my headache is back and on my way home from work I feel a bit disoriented but I got a partner and so far we doing really good and holding each other’s hands all the way I look forward to the results as I can already literally feel my stomach shrinking.

    Let’s hang in there until we make it :)

  787. by sueNo Gravatar May 11th, 2012 9:50 am

    @ Poohmla, Thanks so much!! :) Are you doing the diet at the top of the page [7 day diet] or the 13 day diet some of the other people on this site are using. I see you are on day 3… have you started to lose anything as yet? Good luck!! I’m hoping to cure my binging on all the wrong things by doing this diet.. hopefully will keep off what I have put on. I was 50kg before baby… 62kg after baby… started losing while breast feeding.. then had hormonal problems and put on more weight.. I went on a diet and lost weight.. went back to 62kg. Stopped dieting and within a year my weight ballooned to my present 73kgs!!! :( :( I really hope to gain some control starting with this diet!

  788. by SmaNo Gravatar May 11th, 2012 3:07 pm

    Iyho! Ladies my partner @phoomla and I just had a low blow we got to weigh ourselves today , 3 days into the diet I find out I weigh 85,3Kg mind u this the 1st tym I weighed myself in a long time and eventhough I was disappointed at myself I know we’ll make it because I already feel a little lighter, I slept like a baby and stairs at work didn’t leave me panting and sweating as usal today. So ladies let’s keep at it since we got nothing but the weight we so do not want to loose *wink*

  789. by poohmlaNo Gravatar May 12th, 2012 10:53 am

    Hello everyone,

    Sue, I am on the 13 day diet.

    Let’s keep going team.

  790. by DeenaNo Gravatar May 13th, 2012 9:55 pm

    Hi everyone! I get so motivated reading all the comments here. I decided to start this diet tomorrow. I have one question though, can i consume supplements like multivitamins while on this diet? Lets motivate each other guys! All the best ~ Thanks =)

  791. by DeenaNo Gravatar May 14th, 2012 7:00 am

    Day 1- had my black coffee for breakfast. I usually had vanilla yogurt & coffee for breakfast but today means no yogurt. Looking forward for lunch & dinner. I’m a bit confused whether to follow the unrestricted or restricted diet. I need to make myself busy to forget about foods. I decided to not taking multivitamins though

  792. by tellaNo Gravatar May 14th, 2012 7:27 am

    Hi there, I am also starting the diet today, friends of my mother did it and lost a lot of weight. I have trouble losing that few exra kgs, for have been on anti depressants so let’s see if this works for me!@ deena, looks like we are starting togeter today! How many cups of coffee can I drink??

  795. by PorcheNo Gravatar May 14th, 2012 10:38 am

    Hi everyone. wow, its so great to read this blog – i get more motivated. i just started today :) . thought i was going to dies – but actually i am not. the blogs are really helping. i woke up and decided to start today – so i havent weighed myself. i will do so tonight, and get a starting number. So Deena, Tella – we starting this together. good luck – lets motivat each other. Tella – it seems you can have as many cups as you wish….So heres to day one :)

  796. by tellaNo Gravatar May 14th, 2012 11:34 am

    @ porche, that’s great, I am sure we can motivate and help each other! I went to the shops to get all the foods and can’t wait for tonights steak! Are you going to grill yours in the oven? So far so good, I am a bit hungry but hopefully after lunch I will feel beter.

  797. by NthatoNo Gravatar May 14th, 2012 12:11 pm

    Hey Guyz….

    I would just like to know, can males also do it??? Cos from the names I see here I cant work out if some people are males or females…. Cos I am also on the verge of starting after reading this inspiring blog….

    I feel so motivated….B ut concerned if this will work in the case of males since we males are genetically having a tougher fat content than fermales…

  798. by DeenaNo Gravatar May 14th, 2012 1:17 pm

    Had 2 boiled eggs & spinach for my lunch & i must say it was one of the least meals i ever had. I sprinkled some spices & squeezed a lime onto the spinach to make it taste better. Not feeling hungry anymore now. Cant wait for steak tonight! All the best to @tella & porche! I’m so happy i can start this diet with someone. I am gonna grill my steak on the pan. Then finish my meal with green tea perhaps.
    @tella, i hope u will see improvement when u weigh yourself tonight. I think i’m gonna weigh myself on day 3.
    @Nthato, i guess everyone can do this diet. I heard it is practised in Danish hospital. Besides, females have higher amount of fat than male. Males have larger muscle mass though. All the best everyone!

  799. by DeenaNo Gravatar May 14th, 2012 1:19 pm

    @Nardo..do you have chicken / beef luncheon there? I think that is the best to substitute ham =)

  800. by NthatoNo Gravatar May 14th, 2012 1:32 pm

    @tella, thanks dear…

  801. by NardoNo Gravatar May 14th, 2012 3:54 pm

    thanks Deena :)

  802. by sueNo Gravatar May 14th, 2012 4:05 pm

    Hi everyone… day 1 almost done and dusted :) I had no problems with hunger.. drank loads of water.. had 2chopped boiled eggs in a bowl of raw spinach for lunch [little bit of salt on eggs].. quite enjoyed it. Looking forward to my supper of pan-grilled steak with green salad [using watercress, rocket, spinach,cucumber and cos] Sure this is gonna be divine! I dont usually dress my salad, so I’m happy. Wish I could use some lemon on my steak just to liven it up a bit though. Bon Apetit everyone!!!

  803. by DeenaNo Gravatar May 15th, 2012 5:06 am

    Hi everyone! Does anybody know how to cook a delicious moist steak? Mine always turn out chewy & dry…and i ended up burn my steak last night haha
    Really wanna know how you guys make your steak =)

  804. by tellaNo Gravatar May 15th, 2012 6:49 am

    Day 2!! Feeling good, and woke up not feeling hungry at all. @ Deena, I also tried to grill mine last night and it was okay,just a bit burned on the edges. My boyfriend said next time he will braai it for me, so think that might work the best? I am struggling with the 2l water a bit lol especialy with the cold weater

  805. by PorcheNo Gravatar May 15th, 2012 8:17 am

    Morning yall. Day 2, i woke up feeling great, not tired at all. I was tired yesterday, but when i woke up, i felt good. i normally sleep tired and wake up tired. My steak was dry. lol. but dinner was good :) ,lol. @tella i put it in the oven, lol, it was cheewwwy. great substitute for gum, which i miss so much. @Nthato, i am sure you can give it a bash, shocking your body into weight loss should not be gender dependant, i am no expert but give it a bash. @Tella, try take a little water bottle with you to work. take a glass when you wake up. keep a bottle in the car – to remind you, and take two bottles maybe after breakfast(if you havent had some in the morning) or before and after lunch, and then before/after supper. you would have drank at least 2.5l. @Deena – we are so doing this :) yippe yay. Oh, i am allergic to wheat, can i eat rye bread for the toasy bit?

    Hi guys, I am really sticking to this diet religously. It is day 10 and I have lost 5.6 kg, my husband 8.1kg and my daughter 5.2kg. I am so sorry that I didn’t take measurements before we started, as I can honestly feel a tremendous amount of difference. I had a gastric bypass about 7 years ago and lost a staggering 56kg. I have since picked up 15 kg of which I have now lost 5.6kg. I fitted some of my skinnier clothes yesterday and was amazed that they fitted me again. Even though I have another 9+kg to go, I feel amazing. Although my diet ends on Friday night, I have definately acquired the inspiration to carry on eating healthier. The funny thing is the further you go into this diet, the less hungry you are. Keep yourself busy and eat slowly because then you will feel fuller. We’ve all discussed and fantasized about what we’re going to eat on Saturday and had so many laughs about it. Just stick to it and see the major difference. Remember to measure and weigh before starting, which should preferably be on a Sunday, then you only have one weekend of dieting……..Good luck girls! I am on FB if anyone would like to ask me questions. Diane van Schaik Conradie

    Day 2.. woke up with no hunger pangs at all. Had a glass of water immediately. Already on my third glass for the day. Had my coffee and looking forward to some steak for lunch… hopefully it wont be as dry and chewy this time!
    @Deena – I dont know how to make the perfect juicy steak, but I intend steaming mine in a pan with a little bit of salted water so that it doesnt dry out.. then very quickly searing the outsides in a very hot pan. My thinking is that the meat should be juicy on the inside but grilled on the outside….hope it works!
    Have a great day everybody!! :)

    Day 2 not going good huger pains….. Neat to be strong go girl go

    Day 2- had green tea after i woke up, and suddenly felt like vomiting! My head was dizzy too. Maybe i was having the green tea on empty stomach. Went to sleep to ease the dizziness then had black coffee & a slice of whole wheat bread. Love the bread!
    Today is better than yesterday..i can concentrate at class and not feeling hungry. Although my mind wandered around thinking about all those delicious foods sometimes.
    I just had my lunch steak. I googled how to cook a nice steak and my steak today tasted delicious! I prepped the steak with soy sauce & pepper for extra flavor and grilled on hot pan until the outside turned brown & crusty. @sue is right, the insides should be juicy. So grilling for too long will make the insides dry.
    Tonights dinner will be ham. Thinking how to make it tasty somehow.
    @tella @porche @sue @myra we all started on the same day. Be strong girls!

  811. by tellaNo Gravatar May 15th, 2012 3:59 pm

    Not looking forward for tonights dinner, I hate ham. Got myself some like it lean chicken “ham” so hopefully that’s okay. And I am also very thankfull that I have support here, for now it feels great to know I am not the only one who has to go through it! @ Deena, I also struggled with concentration today and have a slight headache. But I am very motivated! @ myra keep strong time will go by fast!

  812. by sueNo Gravatar May 15th, 2012 4:02 pm

    @Nthato.. GO for it!!!
    @Deena – my copy of the diet does not allow for any other flavouring except salt… I thought I was cheating by adding a tiny bit of ceyanne pepper. I threw my salad into the pan when my steak was done – just for it to warm up and wilt.. was yum!!
    I am substituting the ham with chicken [dont eat ham] Going to steam chicken then quickly sear it in a hot pan like I did with the steak.
    Have drunk loads of water today– I think I had at least 3 litres… is this bad??
    I have had no hunger, cravings or dizziness. Hope it goes as well for the rest of this diet!!
    So yes Tella, Porche, Deena and Myra – lets be strong and see this diet through :)

  813. by sueNo Gravatar May 15th, 2012 6:25 pm

    supper done..I made a piece of chicken fillet .. steamed it slowly in a little water with salt, bit of herb, cayenne pepper and few drops of lemon juice. When it was cooked, seared it quickly in a very hot pan then returned it to pan with liquids.. soft, succulant, tasted good but really missed a side salad or something with it!
    Hope that having this chicken [instead of ham] is not going to mess things up!
    Was 72,8kg when I weighed myself yesterday morning.. will weigh again on Friday so will see if I messed up. Hope everyone else did great today!

  814. by MyraNo Gravatar May 16th, 2012 5:59 am

    Hi all have a slight headache but suffer with constipation ,can I take something…. Love the ham it’s from France …..day 3 …. good luck @ Tella @ Porche @ Deena @ @Sue stay strong we can do it

  815. by tellaNo Gravatar May 16th, 2012 7:20 am

    Morning girls! I must say didn’t feel to good yesterday, went to sleep with a big headache but all is good and gone this morning. @ Sue your supper sounded awesome I got chicken polony and it was okay but also missed my salad! I am on almost the same weight as you so will be interesting to see if we get the same results. @ myra I am sure you can use something. @ everyone does your version of the diet also allow you to eat cheese and carrots for lunch tomorrow[day 4]? And fruit salad and natural yogurt for supper? Sounds lekker!!

  816. by MyraNo Gravatar May 16th, 2012 7:43 am

    Morning Tella yes looking forward to cheese and a fruitsalade.. Thank I will try and ge something for the constipation..good luck stay strong… My weight is 77kg on the 14 May on the start of the diete. Go go go to all of you

  817. by sueNo Gravatar May 16th, 2012 10:13 am

    Good morning everyone! Everything good thus far.
    @Tella – really cool to have someone with similar weight to compare with.. will weigh myself again on friday morning, first thing.
    The chicken was gooood.. going to do same thing tonight and I’m going to toss my green salad into it at the end.. yum.
    For lunch I’m going to scramble together my salad, tomatoes and egg in bit of water with some salt and cayenne pepper :)
    My version of the diet also has cheese & carrots for lunch tomorrow – then fruit salad & yogart for supper.. I’m looking forward to everything except the natural yogart – I love yogart, but find it very difficult to have it unsweetened [my diet specifies no flavouring or sweetners] especially with fruit salad since it tends to be pretty sour :(
    Does anyone know if there are restrictions to the amount of cheese, carrots, fruit & yogart on tomorrows list?
    @Myra – I read somewhere that a cup of hot water with some lemon juice helps with headaches when on a diet..havent tried it though.
    Happy dieting everyone :)

  818. by sueNo Gravatar May 16th, 2012 10:16 am

    ps – @Myra… 2 cups of hot green tea does it for me when I feel a bit constipated. I find Black Forest Tea also works but a bit too well… hope it helps you :)

  819. by MyraNo Gravatar May 16th, 2012 1:20 pm

    Lunch for day 3 was more than sufficient for me ….next time only 1 egg… maby because I poached the eggs….@ Sue thanks for the advice … got some green tea will try it ….

  820. by bianca247 hoping to lose weightNo Gravatar May 16th, 2012 1:33 pm

    well im on day 10 and i must say i feel so much different …my clothes are starting to sag…well the coffee in the morning i can not do …i have one sugar in the morning unfortunately..but i have still lost alot of weight…i was so upset with day 7 when they say eat whatever you like and didnt land up eating at all…just had a cup of tea…well i guess my body is changing…well done to everyone still going strong…tonite is Ham and salad not my fav but hey what to do….

  821. by DeenaNo Gravatar May 16th, 2012 4:36 pm

    Day 3- somehow breakfast today made me feel a little full. Reallyy love the bread. As for lunch, I changed the boiled eggs into scramble eggs and mixed it with green beans. Hope it doesnt change anything..
    Today is a very tempting day for me as I went to my friend’s house and she baked a moist chocolate cake! Seeing my other friends swallowed that cake was very hard for me. I had to leave her house earlier before she could serve the main dishes that I know would be super delicious.. Man, this is hard but I have to be strong. 10 days to go!
    I weighed myself today and somehow disappointed as no reduction from my starting weight. Still, have to continue till the end. All the best everyone!!

    Hey, this site has been the greatest inspiration of dieting sites I’ve ever read. I am a foodaholic – constantly nibbling, eating, chewing something. I have been fasting (water only fast and juice fasts) for 7days and the difference it makes is incredible. Last year I caught a bad fungus, due to superduper amounts of sugary sweets I eat (I am studying and working full time and need my sugary snacks to keep me going) and had to cut out all the sugar and starch and carbs by following candidas diet. Amazing, I have never been so light in my life. Unfortunately as fungus left, large amounts of chocolates and sweets were reintroduced and well the weight came back also, double and my metabolism slowed so badly, that I decided it needs a kick. My friends have done the Danish hospital one, and none of them actually managed to finish it after 3-4 days. So I am giving it a go myself and prove them its not that hard and it actually works (at least I hope).

  823. by CaramellaNo Gravatar May 16th, 2012 6:08 pm

    I started yesterday on 15th of May. My weight was 64,5kg and my height is 170cm. Most of my life I have been no more than 60kg, so this was a mega shock for me and I realised I need to take some action.

    So, it is my 2nd day and I don’t know how about you, but I can hardly finish the meal, it seems so filling and heavy. Specially yesterday I was still full from the eggs and then steak at night. And today, I am just craving for chewing and snacking, but I am actually full. Does that make any sense? Anyways, will see how it goes. BTW, how much of a lettuce and celery salad do you eat?

    All girls and boys lets stick together, its so much easier that way!

    Lots of luck – WE CAN DO IT!!!

  824. by tellaNo Gravatar May 17th, 2012 6:54 am

    Day 4! Morning everyone! I am so excited about today, because I love my fruit and tonight is fruit salad, yay!@ sue yes mine also says unsweetend yogurt, but hopefully the fruit will sweeten it a bit. @ Bianca, that’s awesome wish I was on day 10 yet, how much weight have you already lost?? @ Myra I also changed my supper a bit last night, i can’t stand ham so I sat down and thinked that ham is pork right? So I grilled very thin pork chop that has no fat on, I realy hope this won’t make a difference! @ Deena well done for not being tempted with the cake, I am not a sweet type of person but love salty things but a temptation is still a temptation lol, I am to scared to weigh myself, because at the moment I am very motivated and it would realy bring me down to see no change, even if it is still early days, think I will wait for sunday to see. @ caaramella welcome! You will see it helps a lot if you have a great support group like this one! Best of luck to all of you for today! Xxxx

  825. by sueNo Gravatar May 17th, 2012 6:57 am

    Hi Guys! Day 4!! All went smoothly yesterday… just felt a bit strange in the evening during supper … I felt a bit ‘out of it’ as the saying goes, but it only lasted for about an hour.
    The great thing is I’m now not running to the loo everytime I have a glass of water! Did anyone else experience this?
    I am going to have a Pro-vita instead of a slice of bread [mine went off :( ] Hope its okay to do this.
    For lunch, I’m going to bake an egg and a cup of carrots then sprinkle some mozzarella cheese over it and grill till cheese melts..YUM!!!
    I found a way around making the yogart sweeter.. bought some sweet grapes.. will blend it in to the yogart and then use as normal in my fruit salad.
    @Deena.. I know what you feel… I have to cook and serve all sorts of yummy stuff to my family but cannot partake.. you can imagine what it is like for me when I sit at the same table eating something different!
    Caramella, I think you have as much salad as it takes to make you full. I have no cravings as such, but feel neither full nor hungry.

    Woohoo guys..3 days behind us and a 4th day we gonna sail through!!

  826. by bianca247 hoping to lose weightNo Gravatar May 17th, 2012 11:40 am

    Well i am on day 11 and still going strong….@ Sue yes i also had to go to the loo 10 times a day as well as at night…it your body getting rid of water..i was wishing for cooked food last night so i took the ham and lettuce and braised it no oil or butter, it came out yummy…braised lettuce taste like spinach…hehehe…@ Sue i aslo cook my carrots and put cheese over and melt it in the microwave…it tastes divine…well fruit tonite not gonna eat the youghurt…it tastes vile…

  827. by PearlNo Gravatar May 17th, 2012 12:07 pm

    Hi
    Just discovered your website, have read as many comments as I could and really helpful and encouraging. I am on day 5 and so far I have lost 8 pounds. My starting weight was 12stone 8pounds and today I am 12stone. I dont feel very pretty but I shall battle on and hope to last the whole hog

  828. by CaramellaNo Gravatar May 17th, 2012 8:17 pm

    @ bianca247 well done, I must say I am rather jealous by being on day 3 only. But hey, 10 more days and I am done with that :)
    @ Pearl keep up the reading, its super motivating!
    Its strange – Im feeling absolutely fine and not hungry at all. And I read that this type of diet might distract you and it will be difficult to concentrate. If anything – it makes your brain sharp. Had my exam today and I am pretty positive about it. So fingers crossed my good mood will last the whole process :)

  829. by PearlNo Gravatar May 17th, 2012 9:24 pm

    @Caramella Thanks. I actually feel more encouraged and motivated by reading your message. It is good that the diet is not having any negative effects on you, with me I think its my age but I am slowly getting there. Keep going and good luck with the remaining days.
